LBS should be qualified for that.
The Day One is a fine bike but having owned two I'm going to say what's wrong with them.
I don't like the crazy rear hub width.
I found the steel (520) a bit weak. I have a couple of steel Surlys too, one I've had for three years now, and the Day Ones seemed to attract dents where the Surlys haven't, maybe circumstantial but I don't think I have abused the Day Ones particularly.
Also the paint is very poor, it scratches/rubs off too easy.
Oh and the forks are heavy.
But yes, they are worth the money and they are a nice bike to ride so feel free to disregard my two cents.
