Asking for some help / education from my fellow CAAD enthusiasts. I just found this frame on eBay and bought it for my wife. Intend to build it up with either 6800 or Athena 11spd.

Where my knowledge is lacking is with respect to the BB30 bottom bracket. I believe both the 6800 and Athena are available with BB30 bottom brackets, but what I don't know is whether I need a new bottom bracket or not. The photo below appears to show a BB installed. Am I missing anything or will any crank install in this BB? Or should I replace the BB?

I've read that there are adapters that will fit BB30 and will accept a standard english BB. This appeals to me since there's a great likelyhood that I can move the groupset someday to another bike.

Comments / suggestions / help? Thanks in advance.
