Or....just shop for a different cheapo Chinese frameset that comes with BSA and none of the pressfit-idiocy.

Pressfit like BB30 and BB90 and BB86 all came about because manufacturers wanted to save money-as molding a whole is cheaper than making a threaded insert and making it work well....problem-by trying to do things cheaper for themselves the results are underwhelmingly annoying to the consumer due to lack of necessary engineering precision IRL and PressFit only working really well inside CAD where everything fits perfectly together. PF is a cost cutting measure, it really gets the consumer nothing but a ton of engineering-marketing talking points and headaches due to noise.
