Swap/Compatibility

I'm looking at buying a new frame specifically a Soul Cycles Loki. I am aware that i will have to buy a new load of parts including seat post, etc. But there are a couple parts that i would not like to replace, such my my cranks Race Face Diabolus cranks. Just wondering if there are different size bottom brackets or is the x-type bottom bracket compatible with any size of bottom bracket. My wheels and derailler can stay the same and my frok i;m assuming since i didn't cut it. Anything else i might want to look out for?

The crank should work fine, but contact Soul to confirm

Besides the seatpost?

Probably the front derailleur.

Of course all new cables and housing.

Besides that everything should swap over.
