Anyone know German MTB's ?

Here's one I picked up in a lot. Never saw one before and can't find much on the web.
It has a lugged frame,Araya rims and hubs marked Diablo. Marked "Made in Germany" on the seat tube but nothing else...Any help is appreciated.

Ohh, Diablo hubs! I have a pair of them sitting around that I pulled off an old Peugeot MTB from about that vintage. The cones are pitted and oddly proportioned, and since Diablo's customer support is slow these days I have been sitting on them for a while.

Can't help you with the bike though.
