I bought a cervelo P2 frame. So now I need your help buying components. I need everything as right now I only have the frame. It takes 650c wheels which I need to buy. Can you make any suggestions?

I know the Kestrel is at 73 degree (or at least was last time I checked), and I know for certain I wouldn't be comfortable at that angle. You're going to be in the aero position 90% of the time doing triathlons, and 73 degrees, which is really a road bike geometry, may not be to your liking. But maybe that's changed too. Perhaps the rep. could advise us.
Also, I just checked to BD website, and the geometry for the Nemesis is listed at 76 degrees. The Kestrel geometry is not available.
