[Closed] SRAM Chainset in a Shimano style Press Fit BB... What do I need?

Potential new frame has a Press Fit BB. Looking to possibly fit a SRAM GXP chainset instead of a Shimano one.

Obviously, I could just fit a Shimano chainset to make it nice and easy, but if I'm fitting a SRAM chainset, what do I need to make it fit? As I understand it, Hope sell an adapter with their BB's that allows you to fit a GXP chainset into a 24mm BB. Going the Hope route is rather an expensive option though to be fair, something I'd probably rather not do just now.

Are any adapters available to fit a Shimano BB86/92 style PF BB?

the hope adaptor is just a 22/24mm top hat that pushes into the non drive cup so in theory if you already have a shimano bb that would save you buying another complete bb,

Ahem... Just in case they may be reading this I'll be polite... But we've been open now for 3 months, and I've continually requested a visit from Fisher's who distribute SRAM! Still no visit. 😕
