That sure looks like it! I highly recommend it. Plus, it's Swedish steel, which gives it more mojo.... One of the nice benefits of the length is that your hand can clear the frame better when using it - less chance of skinned knuckles if you slip (but generally you don't slip). Worth it's weight in 753 tubing, IMHO.... YAMMV.
