First retro bike project

[Syd]

Just bought this from my local car boot in spain. I dont think the guy knew what it was as i managed to knock him down to 12 euros! Bargain. Anyway, this is my first time on here and my first retro project. Anyone know anything about the make? I used to work in an LBS but never came across any bikes called " AMERBIK" . It has a full shimano 200gs groupset, araya rims ( not in pic ) and tange cro mo plain gauge tubing. Apart from the paintwork which used to be flourescent yellow and has now faded it's in good nick, minimal wear to sprockets/chain etc. I know its not a classic so im not going to go mad and spend a fortune but should i restore it to its original colour and kit or do something different. Any thoughts or advice would be great. Hope ive put this in the right forum!

Hi I’ve just been given one of these mtbs it’s an amerik tomahawk never heard of them before mine has manitou magnum front forks deore ds rear mech, xt front mech, alloy chain rings,stx hubs and a chrome frame, I thought it might be something a bit special, but I think someone must have upgraded the components at some point it’s a cool bike though and well worth doing up if only because they are quite rare. If I was you I’d do yours up and upgrade your components with whatever you can get for the right price.for me I love doing bikes up whatever they are any well sorted bike is good to ride around on especially if you’ve done it yourself.
