- 19 inch frame
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum. Better photos would help. However, based on the graphics, chainstay mounted rear brake and what are obviously not the Shimano 200GS components used during 1990-1992, I'd say this is the 1989 model. Here's another Bush Pilot with what appears to be the same decal set and components. It's tubeset is hi-tensile.

Just picked up this Bush Pilot yesterday. The serial # is stamped very faintly but it may start with an F. Google tells me an 89 was stolen and it also had a F at the beginning (but a different number). Sakae SX Oval Tech triple CR , Shimano 6 speed SIS, Araya alloy wheels, undermount rear brake and a really neat paint job.
