Caloi ultra six

[mirman]

I picked up this bike at a yard sale for $5. I plan on tearing it down and repainting it and then putting my Phantom 85 in it. It's even big enough to hold a four stroke comfortably. Has anyone else used one of these bicycles? It is made in Brazil. It looks pretty beefy. Tell me what you think.

I believe it is aluminum. Is that bad? If you look at the pictures the parts are real beefy.

Looks like a tiny bit of rust showing, could be dirt. Try a magnet on it.

I have a bike very similar to that, same handle bars and tall frame. It's a Venture.

Can I put V brakes on this frame? I think I can.

That bike is aluminum, they were made in the mid to late 1990s.

I would NOT recommend using an aluminum frame like that with a Phantom 85.

What about a china 80 or 100?

We tend not to recommend any aluminum frames be used with motorised bikes...Vibrations, mounting points, etc. tend to crack and break with next to no warning with aluminum, can be quite dangerous not only for you but others as well when this happens.

I simply wouldn't recommend it for any motor. It jas a water bottle mound drilled into it right where the front mount bolts on. That compromises alot of strength especially with the vibrations of the engine. At leas you got some good parts for cheap!
