52/36 chainset for a threaded BB?

Can you pick up a pro-compact for a threaded BB? I've been looking for a while and all I can find is FSA gear that all seems to be for a press fit BB.

I'm on a full Shimano set up.

I am not sure what the difficult is, since I think they are available either from Shimano (e.g. in their DuraAce line), custom (e.g. from Spa) or DIY (e.g. if you already have a common compact with 110BCD then you just need to get compatible rings)?

Cheers, forgot about Dura Ace, but probably looking to do it cheaper than that tbh. Spa cycles looks the job, thanks had never heard of them before. Showing my ignorance, but what about BB compatibility?

Press fit chainsets are very much a minority at the moment - and will probably remain so unless they sort out some teething problems.

If you have a Shimano set up ATM then you will either have a square taper BB, Octolink BB or a Hollowtech II BB - can you upload a photo?

I've a Ribble Gran Fondo, threaded, with an Ultegra (chainset) bottom bracket atm.
