Yes, it is the same and will work OK.  But are you sure you looked at the the closeups?  Supersize the images of the wheel.  The spokes are pretty crudy and the rim itself has a lot of small pitting.  Personally I would look further.  They do come up for sale fairly often.

Thanx LX,

It does have some pitting but the wheel looks alot better than mine....figured I could get this one clean it up and respoke it, while still riding on the current one.  thanks for the input, I'll keep my eye out for one in better condition.
