I have a Cannondale with a BB30. The Crankset fitted to it is SRAM FORCE 50/34T COMPACT (110mm bcd). I want to take these off the Cannondale and place them on a steel frame which is fitted to take a standard 68mm bottom bracket.
Now, for the questions...
1. Is it possible to use this crank on my steel frame? - are there adapters that will make this work?
2. Can I go further and even use the same bottom bracket?
It is possible BUT it cannot be done with off the shelf parts. The spindle is the critical part. A longer Cannondale spindle is needed and the spindle must have some milling done too it.
