At least it was with mine.
It was just a short ride yesterday, only 3 or 4 miles. (The sun was setting.) So far, I'm loving it. The 700x28c tire feels great, especially compared to the 23c tires that I've grown accustomed to. And the color couldn't be better. I can't wait to build up the front wheel and get another to match.
You're right about the noises. The first few stops there was some creaking and knocking... but it seemed to get better and quieter.
