your sorrento looks nice for it's age. I am not an expert but I remember selling quite a few sorrentos back then. from the 200gs and chainrings I am going to say around '90/'91 time frame. is the fork ChroMo too?

miamijim probably has it pegged, looks like 92 was the only year for the 200GS group, replaced in 93 by Altus groups
