best cycling helmet under 150 image

I would like to begin training for the MS 150 and I was wondering if this is a fair deal. My understanding is that you get to pick out the gear as long as its under the price listed.

Seeing that either bike alone lists for $750 AND they are tossing in so many goodies - yes. The fitting service alone can cost $50 to $250 from bike shops. See last link down.
And a helmet, jersey, cycling shorts, pedals, shoes, etc. - I may move there.

Brands of Bicyles?

I am planning a 360 mile bicycle trip for next summer with one other person. I am looking at bikes, but do not want to get ripped off. What is a good bike, in your opinion, and what is the average cost? Thanks!
I plan on spenind over $1000 due to the distance and remotness of the area, I need something I can rely upon. I plan to use the bike on a few more distance trips.
I will be hauling everything, as the area we are biking there are campground only every 50 miles or so. The trip is in Alaska.

You first need to ask, am I going to use the bike again? What other purposes are you going ot use it for? Just longer trips? Commuting? Distance cycling?
You can get an entry level road bike for 600-800. Most brands offer a trekking model, which has drop handlebars but sits a bit more upright than a normal road racing bike. If you want to get into cycling, and think you will use it consistently, I suggest getting a lower mid-level road bike and spend around 900-1400. It will last a long time, be versitle, and you could even do races or some triathlons on it.
However, if you are going to use it for commuting, get something with flat handlebars and don't spend more than 800. Your performance will suffer on the trip but it would be nicer for commuting.
These types of bikes are hard to find used. Expect to spend at least 600 on a decent bike. Then expect to spend a few more hundred on maintenance stuff, pumps, clothes, padded shorts, shoes, clipless pedals, helmet and such.
If you are on a tight budget and don't care how long it takes you to do the trip, pick up a cheap mountain bike (can find some used) that doesnt have suspension, or just front, take it to a shop and get it tuned and put road slicks on it. My buddy put slicks on a mountain bike and did 150 miles in a day once. It can be done.
Bikes vary in price from 200-10,000. Depends on what you are looking for. Carbon framers are lighter, but you won't be able to get one for under 2000. All of the major brands are good. I have a Trek, which Lance has helped make really popular. Each brand has a slight different fit/feel. Try a few out and see what works best.
