And what do you mean its not matching?

wheel set matches. seat post matches the hubs grips, pedals, and stem all match
altogether tho nothing matches. all purple would go, but purple and blue do not. the red against the spokes and pegs being that weird yellowish green dont go.

matchign is not as simple as saying "i have these three parts match, but they dont match the rest of my bike." it's just looks jumbled is all i'm saying. it's a dialed build with the exception of the chain.

certain colors flow together. for example, simplicity is key. keep to mostly one color with accents of soemthign else. like raw frame, raw forks, raw bars, blue rims, yellow spokes and hubs, everything else black.

you're tryign to do too much. it's kinda hard to teach somebody how to match.
