I'm looking for a used bike because I don't really want to spend $1,000.00 right now.

I do have a helmet, some bike shorts, but not that chamois stuff you are talking about.
I will also need to get some clipon's as well.
I am a big believer in the advantages of road bikes, but it is not absolutely necessary to have a road bike to ride a century. People ride centuries on hybrids all the time.
