English (BC) Thread Bearing Cups
So I was looking at ultegra group on PBK. Linky: https://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=D1090
It comes with English Threaded Bearing Cups. I was thinking of buying a frame (probably CAAD8) here (US), and building it here. Am I just asking for trouble, or are the parts the same as what Shimano sells here?
Also they don't mention bottom bracket explicitly, but it is in the photo. Am I missing something?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thank You.

"English" threading is universal and any bb so marked will be the same (assuming it's properly made) any where in the world.
Just be sure the Cannondale frame you're considering has an English threaded bb shell, not some proprietary design. A call to Cannondale should confirm this.
