Interesting, to say the least. I was under the impression that 9/10/11 speed was not cross-compatible, especially between Shimano and Campy. Who knew?

How durable are these lightweight components? There has to be some sort of strength and durability sacrifice to the weight benefits right?

I totally agree that it is basically a scam for novelty. However, In every industry there are the few and specific 'artists' that can always demand a premium. Colnago bikes aren't exactly cheap and certainly don't perform 4x better than the bike that it costs more than 4x. But they are BEAUTIFUL and works of art like anything Lightweight makes. In this case it's more than art of visuals but weight loss. Weight loss gets exponentially more expensive the closer to 0 you get. Edit: In bike terms.

the ocd in me makes me want to kill myself looking at that white bike. Even though it is very clean, it is a NOT.

What do you mean in regards to torque? I have no problems with weight limits on parts, but I do ride hard. I couldn't imagine changing out 1000 dollar derailleurs and cassettes every time something went wrong. In the end, it's the smile the matters. How many miles have you put on that thing?
