Mystery bike

*****UPDATE 26 Feb **********
The Serial Number is actually Y1G2027 .... the Y and the 1 were very very lightly embedded.
Pics added...

Seems to have originated from the USA

Serial number Y1G2027

this is the bicycle in question
I've seen many similar frames on this forum and I'm looking for some help. I'd like to re-spray this bike and possibly even add the correct decals if I can!

A few pieces of info that might help:
- Fully loaded with Shimano 600 arabesque (I love these!) [only deviation from Shimano 600 is that the rear wheel skewer is Campi ]
- Looks to be original paint since the fork and chain stay still have chrome
- the frame is very light, "YAMAGUCHI Sports Frame, Sakai Japan", "Mangalloy"
- Original bike shop sticker is from Hank and Frank Bicycle in Lafayette CA
- Serial Y1G2027 stamped on BB
- Ukai rims
