wierd question, but does the new SL3 take "normal" english BB's?

like for example, ultegra with hollowtech cranks?

it just looks like they all use the specialized cranks which seem to have an internal BB?

thanks

    It has it's own proprietary integral BB with 42mm self adjusting ceramic bearings by the looks of things...

    So basically I dunno.

    The frames come with a sleeve so they must be available.

    If you buy the frame on its own (in the UK) it's an English threaded BB

    If you buy a complete bike then it's BB30

    Edit meant to add yes, like others have said, there is an aluminium sleeve avail to convert the bb30 to english thread.
