The combination of the riveted Univega head badge and the shiny Diamond Back sticker on the downtube makes me think someone stuck the DB sticker on a Univega. Rivets trump adhesive most of the time when working on identification. Also, from the looks of that bike in general, the company that produced both Diamond Back (mountain bikes) and Centurion (road bikes) would have a Centurion name on that one. Only later did the name Diamond Back appear on both its road and mountain bikes and this one looks too old for that.
Now, which Univega is the question. I definitely see a Sport decal there.
