I’m stuck between three Cannondales and could use some advice/insight:
- 1. 2023 SuperSix EVO Carbon (Cashmere) – SRAM Force AXS 12-speed, integrated power meter, HollowGram 50/64 carbon wheels, under 500 km use, £3,200.
- 2. Team EF SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod (Purple/Pink) – Dura-Ace Di2 11-speed, Hunt carbon wheels, excellent condition, £3,000.
- 3. Rapha SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod (Limited Edition) – SRAM Red AXS 12-speed, carbon wheels, immaculate, £3,200.
I’ll mainly use it for road riding, plus a Half Ironman next year and a full Ironman after that. The new Cashmere has the latest 2023 aero frame, integration, and power meter, but the EF and Rapha Hi-Mods use the higher-grade carbon and look incredible.
I’m absolutely torn — what would you pick, and why?
Thanks in advance.

1 or 3.
The 11 speed di2 is great, but not current. And I think the hollowgram wheels are nicer than anything hunt puts their name on.
Personally I’d probably opt for the newer generation frame over a previous gen, regardless of it being hi-mod. Particularly with iron mans in your future, you’ll appreciate the aero assistance.
Also as a buyer beware, it looks like the red equipped bike has the power meter, which is built into the chainrings, it’s extremely expensive when the chainrings are worn. Sram do offer a deal where you send in your hold chainrings/power meter and they supply you a new one at a discount, but even then it’s very expensive.
the EF and rapha ones are cool but I’d still go 1.

All three! Actually, number 3 – hi mod & red. (The wheels might be a little less desirable than the other two, but new wheels are easier than a new frame. )
