Looks like the frame was produced late April/early May, but could not confirm the year, which is presumably represented by the letter P.

Looking more closely, you may notice another barely legible stamp running 90 degrees to the P along the non drive side bb edge which reads:
930 16 5, which represents the frame’s model # and size. I’m guessing a leftover frame repainted in the 1998 color scheme.

Maybe that’s why they brought back the 920 in ‘98?
I have a '98 920 I bought new as a couple year left over. It's a great bike that I've upgraded over the years. Trek brought the 920's frame back in '99 as the 930 with suspension fork and I'm pretty sure that was the last year for the frame.
