I tend to like to match the decal, but it's pretty subdued on this one. Cannondales used to have model and CAAD stickers all over with chunky yellow text

The BMX guys seem to be better at the accessory color selection than the rest of us.
For me, the color of the frame dictates the color of the accessories; whether they match or contrast.
-If you have a black or chrome frame, you can use almost any color. on the bling parts

Since there's nothing on the bike that's already gold and the downtube decal looks silver, gold bits will look out of place. If the hubs, stem, and seat collar were all a matching third color, that would be cool, but as it stands, it looks better with all black parts, IMO.
