This review is from: New 2005 19" Caloi Cam Sport Mountain Bike 24 speed Black/ Red Alloy Frame. (Misc.)

Gave this 3 stars because this is a China bike like Trek, Diamond Back, Giant, and all of the rest. That's all you can get in the states now. Even the Cycleurope brands that are manufactured in Romilly sur seine, France or the Varberg factory in Sweden, never make it to the USA.

Caloi lost their edge when they stopped importing from their factory in Brazil and began bringing in the China stuff and slapping the Caloi decal on it. Prior to 1999 you got the real deal. I tried to stop this mess in 2000 by sending an email to the Factory in Brazil. They did not respond but shot my email back to Caloi USA in Jacksonville. And, yes, Jacksonville took issue with me on this as in "you're the one that sent that email aren't you?" When they calmed down they agreed with my stand but stated that (the greed for higher profits) led them to bring the China stuff in. And now Caloi USA is gone. Closed down last Jan.

I remember vividly when CALOI BRAZIL arrived in the states. Caloi reps hit virtually every bike shop on the East Coast. Everybody at the beach was riding one. They were everywhere, especially at the beaches--the high polished aluminum frame carrying various levels of components depending on how much you wanted to pay. The smartest thing was to buy cheap and then upgrade--same frame, regardless. My 19-in MTBs typically are 22 lbs with XT components.

The Brazilian stuff was built like a tank and probably still is. Back in 2001, I smashed my Caloi Pro head-on into a high curb on 15th St while crossing Independence Ave in Washington DC. When I realized that the spill-way, the handicap ramp, was off center, it was too late. I applied the handbrakes HARD but still crashed. It threw me over the handlebars and I landed down hard on the sidewalk on my back. When this happens you are dazed for a few seconds. Now, everybody is sitting at the traffic light waiting for it to change and saw the whole mess. After I realized what happened, I got up, picked up my Brazilian Caloi got on it and rode off. No dent, No break in the frame, only a slightly darker blemish where the top tube attaches to the head tube.
