New Kona Cross Country

I'm still deciding on which Kona cross country go get out of the 2003
series, the Caldera looks great for the price but I know I'm changing the
clip-on pedals (just a personal thing) and maybe the stem because I've heard
that it's weak. I'd just like to know what to watch out for with the bikes,
are any parts prone to easily braking, which I should I know about?



Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated.
