Fairly rare these? I like em anyway.

631 frame, some nice bits.

It's on ebay as well, I've been watching it for a while and wondering how it hasn't sold already

I'm in the process of building one

Quite right, everyone should have a Sardar in their life.

What's the build plan? Any pics?

They are a bit of an oddity in that they have a 1" steerer. I ended up using a shim on mine so I had a better choice of stems

That's exactly what I did with mine. I've cut all the disc tabs and hose guides off. I've got some nice bits. No pics yet. Frameset was given to me by my mate.

Racks back and front. 3x9 possibly.

That's really nice. I appear to have less steerer so there would be too much drop for me with drop handlebars. Mine is silver 19"

I'm actually part way through reworking my one to flat bars, I really should crack on and finish it.
