The Shimano crankset should have a date code and, assuming it is original, that should give you a good idea of the year. Post a pic, that can help as well. I've had a lot of DBs over the years (I live 20 minutes from Camarillo) and currently have 5. I know 2 of the '92s have serial numbers beginning with "U" and at least one '92 starts with a different letter but can't remember what it is at the moment.

You can also post in Classic and Vintage. Lots of knowledge on older bikes over there.
