None of this really makes sense. First of all there is Shimano doesn't make BB30 cranksets so any Ultegra crank you own is not BB30. Secondly buying a frame to based on compatibility with crankest you own is all backwards. If you want a new frame, shop for the best frame and then get a crank. If you find a BB30 frame that you like, there are adapters to let you use non BB30 cranks. If you have an old triple crank why not look into new components? You can get an entire 11 speed 105 group for about $370. But since it seems you need or want a new frame and new cranks?? why don't you shop for a new complete bike?
