PM me if you want.
caloi is a brasilian brand of bikes.
it was extreme popular until 2000, and gradualy begin to lose pace against new competitors and international giants.
So the is plenty of caloi around, most.entry to mid level.
i has been sold out to canonndale and dorel in 2012.
they begin making knockoffs os german / british classic bikes, went throught race bikes.in 60 and 70 with licensed production os peugeot race bike and modernized in 21 century with large portfolio of montain and road bikes.
They cannot pace up against world conglomerate giant and china mega monster fujita
