I'll refer you to this thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/so-what-is-this-frame-name-and-shame-it.74638/
It was confirmed that @cannondale king had a Merlin, so likely that this is one too. Pretty sure the frame number in this case indicates a January 1997 build date.
The frame number does indicate a 2002 frame in this case, not 1992. The only confirmed ID on an SF frame number I have is a 2004 Raleigh Savannah. See thread here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/name-that-frame-what-have-i-bought.322389/#post-2413484
I don't have any Konas shown with an SF...
Some ID can also be gleaned from the other number in the middle of the shell ... not sure what yet, but I've seen the following:
A200-1
A420-P
A410-8
A174-G
