Den Beste Sykkel (lit. The Best Bike), better known as DBS, is a Norwegian bicycle brand, manufactured by Jonas Øglænd AS in Sandnes, Norway.[1]
History
The company was founded at Sandnes by Jonas Øglænd (1847–1931) in 1892 and operated under the brand name of Øglænd Cyklelager.[2][3] At first it was an agent for the German manufacturer Hengstberg, later also the American brand The World.[3] The bicycles were assembled in Norway. In addition to this, some bicycles were also assembled under the brands of Fram and Viking.[3] Then, in 1906, the company started producing bicycles in its own factory.[3]
