A company by the name of SlikGraphics make officially liscenced Fox fork decals and you can order them in custom colours if you're curious Tom 👌Also a gold TRP Quadium brake with a gold Shimano Saint bb and some nice polished cranks as you said would be sick
That new frame is super sick, it's a really nice color scheme and goes well with so many accent colors! If fox wont do gold/champagne color logos a Matt Red, Matt Navy or Pepsi Blue or a Nardo Grey would look sick as well. Really stoked you're building up the new bike & can't wait for you to get back to riding again! Just had a big neck/spine surgery & am laid up no riding, gym ect for 8 weeks so these videos really help make my days more enjoyable & give me ideas for my own bikes, riding ect when I'm cleared. Thanks for putting out the videos still even though you are cleared to ride yet either!
Hey Tom Cardy! New bike day rules! Those custom frames for you Sam Pilgrim and Yannick Granieri are awesome! Haibike probably gets those welded by the best of the most experienced welders at the frame factory! Soon you will ride again! Start a Cardy countdown to when you are allowed to saddle up and boost to the sky again and keep us informed! Ride ride ride!
Definitely keep the tan wall tyres! Fox has fork decals in Kashima gold. Add gold bolts (matching the stem cap), to the bar stem plate and brake rotors (if they’re not center lock). The new rig looks brilliant! Keep doing what you do!
I think you should continue with the gold/bronze/tan/black theme. The tan tyres look good I don't think white would be as good. No to chrome, go for a bronze/gold brake lever. Bronze/gold or black grips and you're right to go with the gold chain. I never consciously thought about colour coordinating my bikes but thinking back about it they have always ended that way, most recent build was white with black highlights. Awesome video as usual, thank you keep them coming, and looking forward to seeing you back riding.
If you want to take it to the next level, take off all of the ano parts to strip the color and polish them all up, or have it anodized gold, new gold stickers or decals on the cranks and rims too, tan wall is better with gold than white, gum color grips would work with the livery scheme tie in tan wall tires as well. 7:02 There is a safer way to do that which puts less forces to areas of the frame that aren't designed to take certain types of abuse(like the top tube in a vise with downward force to the head tube) without the press tool: Place the lower bearing cup on a solid surface, place the frame on top of that bearing cup then place the top bearing and wood like you have, hold the frame steady or brace it loosely with some foam or soft padding when you hammer the wood it sets both bearing cups and keeps most of the hammering forces in the head tube.
Bud ive been watching more of your stuff since the lockdowns and ive gotta say, you bring genuine enthusiasm to the sport without the flashy sponsor shout outs and marketing. Keeps me watching man, love it!
Reality check 101: I'm an old guy, I never dirt jump off the ground more than a foot, I haven't build a single bike in my life, I have trouble adjusting the current rear brake of my 24'' BMX, and yet all these bike builds are so awesome, I watch as much as I can to understand the parts, dimension, and the how to. I would love to build one because it gives great aesthetic pleasure.
Id keep the hints of red bro it looks decent from where I am sat. I have a gt chucker in black n white customised as a DJ and with the same tan walls. Epic bro can't wait to see it finished and you riding again
Honestly I would just scrap the white or tan sidewalls altogether and go full black. I think it would make all the other gold accents pop and stand out more. But regardless of what you choose, it's going to look sick!
What better way to spend time with a squishy spleen than to play with bike parts! That's how I kept up hope. A damaged spleen makes a good built in torque wrench.
In my opinion, those forks with no stickers on it are fine. Can't wait to see you shreding again !! (Inglish is not m'y current language so sorry if i'm wrong)
As far as DJ components goes I've only had real problems finding chainrings in the UK recently* . It does depend how fussy you are regards colour but there's plenty of Hope kit about (I've recently built some Hope/Chaos wheels) and at time of writing Wiggle have DJ Bombers in stock!!! Gusset also have Double Six sprockets in stock again. * I run a half-link chain to keep my wheelbase short which means a non thick/thin chainring. Good luck finding one of them atm (32t, 4 arm, 104 bcd, 90ID if you have one) Edit: Also, I hope you don't want yellow stickers on your Halo Chaos rims right now ;)
Keep the tan side walls, goes well with the gold! Careful to mix chrome and silver with gold. Try and stick with gold or black all over! And if Fox don't give you custom gold forks, they've lost me as a customer for life! Well deserved!
Get a gold hollow pin half link chain, I run one and it looks sick. Otherwise get a gold BB and get them fox decals. Shimano Saint brakes might like good as they run with the black and gold theme Tom!
Seeing it like that, I think the tan walls will work really well with the gold decals. White walls could look good but might draw the attention away from everything else. 🤔 Now it's making me want to modify my dirt jumper. The only thing I have done is upgrade the pedals so far after I broke the bearing on the first set. They weren't made for a 126kg bloke to be riding on them. 🤪 You have some great ideas there Tom.
I reckon go Gold decals, black cranks, collars, grips, and brakes then controversial but Blue (same as the damper control on the forks!) for chainring, bb etc!
The bike looks sick just like that keep the tyres I'd definitely get a gold bottom bracket for it and and gold half link chain I like the chrome magura brakes Kara has fitted to her bike that would set it off maybe even go proper street and fit a front brake 😉
XT cranks will probably colour match the frame (are they suitable for DJ?) TRP gold brake as others have mentioned, Marzocchi forks as the damper and air caps are gold, or swap Marzocchi Grip damper and air cap onto Fox Kashima DJ fork (You dont need Grip 2 dampers for DJ surely), Hope/Disco gold centre rotor
Cane creek titantium cranks, go for a mechanical brake street vibes tan walls look mint, leave the fork decals off wack a set of crank bros stamp 11s on too
Silk Graphics do great fork stickers that you can customise to your colour requirements. So good, they've got all the makes, fox etc. Jusy bought some for my marin. So good. Based in Sweden but ship fast.
I think it would be sick with e wings cranks ( if you win the lottery) Trp Chrome brake Golden bb And the gusset Luck on gribs with little gold Bits insted of petrol
Can't wait to see you back on the bikes shredding. Which bike repair stand do you use? It looks very stable and good quality. Do you recommend it? TIA 😎🚴♂️
I am not up to date and I can't find any proper answer with Google. What are those FOX forks and do they do a model for 26 wheels specific for DJ or is it just a normal MTB fork for 27,5 wheels ?
At 9:46 That jittering you see is caused because you filmed that video at around 30fps(or 60, etc) and you're rendering at 24, there will be double frames
It went together easily in less than an hour. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
I'd have tan walls on that rather than white walls. Black grips - coloured grips don't really stay coloured for long, especially after outdoor emergency maintenance. Nice bike though, must be killing you not being able to test ride it...
I love the tan wheels. A gold chain and gold pedals. Keep the black cranks
Yeah totally agree with you
A company by the name of SlikGraphics make officially liscenced Fox fork decals and you can order them in custom colours if you're curious Tom 👌Also a gold TRP Quadium brake with a gold Shimano Saint bb and some nice polished cranks as you said would be sick
Etsy has every color ever made as well for many suspension brands
I got some great custom decals from Slik. They are really good.
I got Mickey mouse and Minnie mouse putting middle fingers up on my fox decals LOL
I think the tan tyres suit the bike, it's looking pretty sleek!
That frame is so sick Tom. Can’t wait to see the finished build. So slick !
That new frame is super sick, it's a really nice color scheme and goes well with so many accent colors! If fox wont do gold/champagne color logos a Matt Red, Matt Navy or Pepsi Blue or a Nardo Grey would look sick as well. Really stoked you're building up the new bike & can't wait for you to get back to riding again!

Love the tan walls Tom 👌 grips in a similar tan/gum colour would be sick!
The Golden Sram XX1 cranks would look sick🤘🏼

Gold Hubs, Gold Chainring, Gold seat clamp and either a Gold stem or Gold handlebars but not both............and then its banging Tom ✌😁👌

Tan wall tyres look sick, gold chain yep 🤙🤙🤙

I would love to build one because it gives great aesthetic pleasure.
I think black collars on the grips and keep the tan walls, they look awesome!
I genuinely hope you recover soon man! I love your vids and your ride style!
These tanwalls look sick!
Id keep the hints of red bro it looks decent from where I am sat. I have a gt chucker in black n white customised as a DJ and with the same tan walls. Epic bro can't wait to see it finished and you riding again
Thanks for the Send it T Tom.
Nice quality, love the green Looks sick!😁
I love the tan walls!
I think the tan tires are just fine. It looks good.
Vans tan waffle grips would look sik with the tan wall tires. I like touches of red and blue colors personally. Right on Cards!
Your DJ is looking sweet!!!🤙🏽
I ride a DJ Specialized P3 and a DJ Felt I mostly street but been hitting the pump track and bike parks. Bike Life 🤙🏽
Honestly I would just scrap the white or tan sidewalls altogether and go full black. I think it would make all the other gold accents pop and stand out more. But regardless of what you choose, it's going to look sick!
the red on the cranks and on the wheels and the bottom bracked is insane but with out is good to.
Gold gusset slink chain would look sick
love the tan and a gold brake lever
Looks sick how it sits!!! Those tan wheels are so nice, all the colours go together really well!
for headset cup mounting we have C-clamps, bar clamps (the ones with screw handles) or a bolt w/ large washers, all work quite nicely :}
Your plan as described is perfect I think - I would consider adding a crank stop though.
Nice Bike!
I think some Sram XX1 Cranks in Gold looks Sick! And some nice black grips!
I think the red looks awesome
What better way to spend time with a squishy spleen than to play with bike parts! That's how I kept up hope. A damaged spleen makes a good built in torque wrench.
Another good looking ride 👌
Bike looks sweeeeet 👌 bronze break housing would be dope 🤩
In my opinion, those forks with no stickers on it are fine.
Can't wait to see you shreding again !!

Tan tyres looking 👌🏻
Keep the tan side walls, goes well with the gold! Careful to mix chrome and silver with gold. Try and stick with gold or black all over! And if Fox don't give you custom gold forks, they've lost me as a customer for life! Well deserved!
Great build Tom looks great 👍👍👍
Get a gold hollow pin half link chain, I run one and it looks sick. Otherwise get a gold BB and get them fox decals. Shimano Saint brakes might like good as they run with the black and gold theme Tom!

She's a beauty! My vote is to keep the tan walls.
Go with the tan wall mate 👌 and maybe gold stem bolts great bike mate 👍
Tom, the natural sidewalls don’t look bad. I’d go with black walled tires but definitely not white. gold hubs and possibly gold bars.
I reckon go Gold decals, black cranks, collars, grips, and brakes then controversial but Blue (same as the damper control on the forks!) for chainring, bb etc!
The bike looks sick just like that keep the tyres I'd definitely get a gold bottom bracket for it and and gold half link chain I like the chrome magura brakes Kara has fitted to her bike that would set it off maybe even go proper street and fit a front brake 😉
This is an absolutely stunning bike!!! 💥💯💥
Keep it all black and gold
The bike looks amazing.
To seat my bearing cups I have a 1” bolt, nut, and washers so i can slowly press them into the head tube
XT cranks will probably colour match the frame (are they suitable for DJ?) TRP gold brake as others have mentioned, Marzocchi forks as the damper and air caps are gold, or swap Marzocchi Grip damper and air cap onto Fox Kashima DJ fork (You dont need Grip 2 dampers for DJ surely), Hope/Disco gold centre rotor
Looks sick can't wait to see it completed 🥰🔥👌
Keep the tan walls and a gold chain, gold seat clamp 🤟
Cane creek titantium cranks, go for a mechanical brake street vibes tan walls look mint, leave the fork decals off wack a set of crank bros stamp 11s on too
I would say full black tyres and let the gold halo stickers do the talking.
tan tires are somewhat easier to keep looking fresh than white-wall ones.. to my eyes tan goes quite nicely on that bike
Silk Graphics do great fork stickers that you can customise to your colour requirements. So good, they've got all the makes, fox etc. Jusy bought some for my marin. So good. Based in Sweden but ship fast.
tan tires, are similar to gold, the bike looks great
Wow. I like this bike 😍😍😍
I dream of building a FGFS-jumper out of a DJ frame, rigid CroMo fork and an ISO cog on the rear hub!
Chrome Hope brake with braided hose and gold chain
I think it would be sick with
e wings cranks ( if you win the lottery)
Trp Chrome brake
Golden bb
And the gusset Luck on gribs with little gold Bits insted of petrol
Tan walls are cool I'd stick with black and gold where possible
That wil look woooooooo😮😮😮😮
Nice! Talk to Matt Jones about some titanium cranks!
+1 for SlikGraphics
tan looks nice
tan walls tan/gum grips gold chain and gold rear caliper
3:22 hilarious :D
Get the gold trp brake, it would match the colour scheme
some side company's ,make really nice gold fox decals
Think it looks sick breakless
No Sir. Those tan walls work much better with those gold fork decals that are surely on the way.
Chrome bars white wheels gold hand grips Tom I do great videos always
Awesome looks sick keep tanwalls
Can't wait to see you back on the bikes shredding.
Which bike repair stand do you use? It looks very stable and good quality.
Do you recommend it? TIA 😎🚴♂️
Love the bike storage area. What is the kit? It looks hinged? Never seen anything like that. Cheers 😊
Invis make some sick decals for fox forks
What grips do you use I’ve been looking for my bike and I have no clue what to get
🤟🔥nice bike
When buying a jump bike they come in medium or large what size frame is best...
I am not up to date and I can't find any proper answer with Google. What are those FOX forks and do they do a model for 26 wheels specific for DJ or is it just a normal MTB fork for 27,5 wheels ?
I like it so much!
Dont make it all gold and black, i reckon the little bits of red make it look sick
i like your old frame
Gum color grips and pedals or gold pedals, Gold seatpost, Gold chain ring
Been waiting for this video
love to see how the videos hav progressed over the years man.i remember when you only had 1k subscribers hahaah
Righteous
Run no brakes if you really love street riding.. lol looks good
At 9:46 That jittering you see is caused because you filmed that video at around 30fps(or 60, etc) and you're rendering at 24, there will be double frames
Awesome
bike looks sick! sram make a set of the same crank with a gold xo logo
Since it looks like you're running metal pedals, what about some gold ones?
Chrome sprocket would look clean
It went together easily in less than an hour. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire.

Tom, can you tell me where you got the table top tyres? I've been looking EVERYWHERE for them for my own jump bike build!! Bike looks sick!!
I'd have tan walls on that rather than white walls. Black grips - coloured grips don't really stay coloured for long, especially after outdoor emergency maintenance. Nice bike though, must be killing you not being able to test ride it...
