I think the bike that uses this frame is a called Caloi Comp. It seems to me that the frame is the same as this at Fixed Gear Gallery :: Jayson Eduardo's Brazilian Fixie (Caloi) , the same color, and the same bad finished thoopaste welds mentioned by @RobbieTunes. The original components are listed at https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/sear....aspx?id=76236 . The fork might have been replaced as the original should have been of composite material.

That particular frame was a Caloi Pro, only because there was a Pro sticker on it. I actually just recently sold it to someone who bought it because they were Brazilian. For what it's worth, it had a Ringling Bikes in Bradenton, FL shop sticker.

The only other Caloi like that I've seen was in a bike junkyard near me. It was a similar frame in yellow and polished aluminum with Claris or some other entry-level groupset. If I ever get time to go down there again I'll see if it's still hanging in their shack.
