Jonas Øgländ's eldest son Jakob returns home after a long stay in Germany. He brings with him, among other things, an agency for Hengstenberg bicycles. He establishes Øglænd Cyklelager, but very few bikes are sold.

Jakob is joined by his brother Lars and together they secure the Scandinavian agency for the American bicycle «The World» from Arnold Schwinn & Co. The bikes arrive dismantled from the USA in large numbers. They rent premises in Jærveien 21-23, where they have a bicycle warehouse in the attic and an assembly and repair workshop in the living room. The Øglænd brothers shared responsibility between them; the youngest, Lars, took over production and Jakob sales.

Around the turn of the century, the company also began producing its own bicycles under the names «Fram» and «Viking».

Øglænd becomes the exclusive Norwegian distributor for German Fichtel & Sach's newly invented «Torpedo» freehub. This is the start of a long and fruitful collaboration between Øglænd and Sach.

The brothers buy their first motorcycle, a German machine. Petrol had to be bought in bottles from a pharmacy and they had to go to the Victoria Hotel in Stavanger to charge the battery.

Progress in bicycle production is much greater than Jonas Øglænd had predicted. The brothers and their father enter into a full partnership and focus on bicycles.

Lars and Jakob buy a car on their trip to Germany. A «Polymobil» is purchased, transported by boat to Stavanger, and driven home by Lars. At Hinna, the car needs to be refilled with water. The top speed is approx. 20 km/h.

Øglænd buys Langgt. 6 and the bicycle factory moves into its own premises for the first time. The workforce consists of 4-5 employees.

A new 2 ½-storey building is built just behind the bicycle factory in Langgt. 6, where a nickel-plating, grinding and polishing workshop was set up. The aim is to become as self-sufficient as possible in production.

The bicycle workers form their own trade union club. Around 55-60 of the bicycle factory's 95 employees join. Wage negotiations break down and the bicycle factory's first strike is a fact. After a three-week strike, the arbitration court accepts Øglænd's view and the strike is called off. The club has not achieved anything and is closed down shortly afterwards.

In June, Jakob is on a shopping trip to Germany. During his stay, he receives news of the murder of the Austrian heir to the throne in Sarajevo. Jakob follows advice to purchase large orders before war breaks out.

Jakob's eldest son, Jonas Bjarne Øglænd, travels to New York to gain practical business experience as a further education. Many necessary deliveries are made and Jonas Bjarne establishes his own purchasing office in the USA in 1917.

On January 10, the Norwegian Bicycle Manufacturers and Wholesalers Association is founded. One of the aims of the association was to ensure regular deliveries to bicycle manufacturers.

The number of employees fell from 110 in 1920 to 58 at the end of the year. The recession and stronger competition from abroad put Øglænd in a difficult situation.

The market is turning somewhat, and Øglænd is focusing even more on in-house production of bicycle parts.

In the middle of the decade, Øglænd starts making «Junior» children's bikes. These are adapted for 5-12 year olds and become a success. Production of tricycles is also initiated.
