My commuter is not matching. I don't even have two matching tires on that bike! My stem is black and my seat post is silver like my frame. Plus, having such short legs, very little of my seat post even shows...so it's hardly obvious. Considering this is what mine looks like, I think yours looks just fine the way it is!

Are your wheels two different sizes or is that just an illusion?

My seat post comes out a bit more than yours, but I've found it's annoying to find bags that don't end up rubbing on the tire.
