I had a closer look and I think the name of the brand might be Dicta. Tried to google it but with no result. The only thing I found from Dicta was freewheels..

Well, it's good that their failure rate has dropped. Between '89 and '92 I must've bent/twisted at least five pairs of DB forks, and several of my friends did as well. Frames? Served us admirably. Forks? Stems? Bars? Not so much.
