Aquired very cheaply this year and in mint condition. I haven't had a roadie in years. When kids were small I had a hybrid to carry all. When they were in their teens I rode and still ride cx upgraded to gravel. I haven't found much on the web. What I did find:
model, CALOI RACE - ARO - 700 - 20V 10 speed cassette,flight deck 105 brifters.
Made in brazil but not exported to the states. This was before the company was sold and no info there. Oddly enough it has a rear carbon triangle and a front aluminum triangle.I would like to know the year of manufacture any info appreciated.

Made in Brazil? Not exported to the states? Não sei. But what brifters are those? Shimano Flight Deck (105)? When were those current?
#3
They are 105 Flight deck brifters. And I can't find exact years they were made

I don't know either but it wouldn't be before 1990. You wouldn't lose much money betting on mid-90's for that bike.

It's the 105 5600 groupset. That would be ~ 2007-2011. Is there any reason why you need to pin down the exact year?

None other than curious. Even my lbs hasn't seen but a few Caloi since their shop opened in the 80's. I've never seen a frame with a carbon rear and an aluminum front triangle. Curiosity got me.

Carbon Rear stuff was popular in the early 2000s I have seen quite a few bikes with it. Not a great thing but not a bad thing so long as no issues with dissimilar materials. They figured you had a carbon fork why not have one at the rear as well.

I live in Michigan, my internet search came up with made in Brazil. Just couldn't find the year of manufacture. Seriously looks like it was never rode. Previous owner died picked it up at garage sale.

It can suck when someone dies but you can also find a deal as well.
