I'm going to say up front that the following is only meant in jest....
So, the parts are all over the world and supposedly on their way. And you think they'll all arrive in time for you to build the bike, take decent photos and get them posted with the complete story by Monday, July 17 at 11:00 AM (rounded up)?
I'll take that bet....
The following is not meant in jest....
Awesome build specs will equal awesome bike - good luck.

The majority of Colnago teams in the peleton for the last 10 years have been Shimano equiped. Its all good (although I do have my own preferences).

So what's another Colnago with Shimano?
