It gets a mention in here but it's in German and a diffo colourway. Yours looks like it could be a year or two later though due to fork on it...

Thanks, I did see a thread and a link to the Raleigh history (Mombat?). It says the 92 technium peak had the mag 20 shock (mine does),
Re:
Going by the colour and graphics I'd have put this one down as a 1990 model. I doubt that fork is original as all the ones I've seen in this colour scheme have a black rigid straight blade fork. There's a couple of these frames on eBay ATM. It also has non low profile xt canti's by the looks of it so that would tend to date it earlier than 92 (if they're original of course).
I had a 92 Peak which was purple and black, see link in my signature for pics.

Here's a link to the 1990 UK catalogue, unfortunately it doesn't include the Peak. I'm guessing they didn't import that particular model that year but the designs are identical on the Chill with the blocky patterns on the downtube at the bottom bracket area. The Peak in the 1991 and 1992 catalogues use the purple and black colours.
