The plan is to go from an FSA BB30 Triple to an FSA BB30 Double - both Gossamer. I suppose I could go with an adapter and another make, but I'm not sure what exactly that would buy me. Would prefer to go the simple route, and short of buying the triple chainrings this seemed the easiest way.
Not being familiar with BB30, didn't know if other than the crankset itself, whether I needed to change out the BB. Thinking not - they use the same one?

No worries, Emily. You know more than I do - didn't know about BB90 at all. I'm a newbie when it comes to components and parts. Thanks for your response and follow up.

Cannondale was actually responsible for the development of BB30...it's their baby.

You don't need an adapter. Shimano doesn't make BB30, so to use a Shimano BB in a BB30 ready frame, you need an English threaded adapter. If you want to stick with BB30, then you have nothing to worry about. So, if it didn't come with chainrings, what parts do you have?

I was planning to go with FSA Gossamer Pro like the triple I have, but a double or compact double (I'm waffling on this again, as I may be moving in the next year or so to a hillier part of the country).
I've got everything but the chainrings and chainring bolts for the triple, as you can see by the picture below:
