A bit confused here.... are these for the Cannondale or the new frame?
If for the new one then I'd suggest a 700c wheel wheel that is as wide as can fit... so you can use a 28mm tire. The benefits of the wider tire and going tubeless (if you want to) are significant and will make your cycling life more comfortable and enjoyable (and so faster).
Having a steel frame with slightly wider tires will make your rides more fun... and if you are honest with yourself perhaps there is a greater bias towards fun and enjoyment than racing as fast as you can against younger people....
Lovely looking frame tho.. I'd agree it's more touring biased with the rack eyelets on the back. Still the geometry may well be more aggressive than a modern touring frame.
