You need to consider two things when choosing a bottom bracket: 1) compatibility with your frame; 2) compatibility with your cranks.
The part of you frame into which the BB fits, is called the shell: the shell will be made to a particular standard.
The most common standard is ISO (International Standards Organisation). This is more commonly known as British or English.
Both the Langster and Pompino will have ISO/British/English shells, so a BB that fits one frame will fit the other.
Different cranks require different width BB for a specified chainline.
You're using the same cranks, so you don't need to change the width of the spindle.
