Wez-O Posted March 20, 2014 Share Guys, So it turns out that after a crash I will need to replace my Cannondale SuperSix frame.Now being a big fan of the SuperSix, I am naturally leaning towards buying the new Cannondale Evo. However, there do appear to be several frames available and I'm trying to figure out which would be not only the best bet, but also the best value for money.From my understanding, the 2014 Evo comes with 3 carbon fiber options:1. Nano Hi-Mod2. Hi-Mod3. Entry level I presume the with the price, comes better 'carbon weaves' with lower counts meaning less weight and more stiffness. Is it really going to make a major difference though? Otherwise, is there another bike someone can recommend? I've been rather impressed by the reports on the Giant TCR Advanced SL. And go...

Longbarn Killer Posted March 20, 2014 Share If I'm not mistaken, the Hi-Mod name has moved over to the Supersix. You might end up getting another Supersix if you buy a H Mod. Wez-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Man Posted March 20, 2014 Share HI Mod is what you would want!! (unless you have the extra $$$) Evo Nano- Ballistic carbon lightest production frame on the market. High Mod- Ballistic High Mod carbon Just different grades of carbon. Wez-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
