The Caliente is identical to my daughter's bike. Check your seatpost insertion. On hers, the seatpost was pretty short and did not have a minimum insertion line. I found it last summer when I tried to adjust it for a growth spurt and there was less than an inch of post left in the frame. The whole post is only about 6 inches, so in your picture, it looks like you are near the end.
