yep that what i built mine from, good as gold :daumenhoch:
just take your time with it, dont storm into tightning spokes until you've got it just right, truing should be the longest part of your wheel build.
first one i did took about 2 1/2 hours but i do them in a just over half that now, and there is some serious satisfaction from building a wheel up yourself :)
