That would make it either an 88 with 6 speed SIS, or 89 with 7 speed SIS. IMHO, they are very good bikes. The Specialized tubing was just renamed Tange tubing. Sirrus used Tange No.1 tubing.
89 version had a unicrown fork, less desirable than the traditional brazed crown of the older model.
An 89 that I acquired and painted silver...
