If the serial truly has 4 as the first digit, that's either an early production error or an indication that the dropouts were 128mm (halfway between 126 and 130). I've seen a number of 128mm frames but none with 4 as the first numeral. On the other hand, my experience with 1989 and later stuff is somewhat limited as I prefer the older 83-88 frame designs. If an SR600, likely it also has an aluminum fork (check with a magnet).
