Ritchey Ascent Comp (1990) questions

I'm tempted to buy an old Ritchey Ascent Comp that has been listed for a while on Marketplace near where I live. The seller is asking way too much for it, hence why it has not sold yet. However, he is willing to lower its price.

The thing is, I don't know much about this model. I've always heard that TIG welded frames were imported from Japan, but some sources mention that these bikes were made in the USA. Which one is it?

Where does it sit in the 1990 Ritchey hierarchy?

Also, the serial number is apparently 004, which does not appear to follow the usual pattern...

The bike in question :
