For context: I am getting more into biking and want to upgrade from my $20 thrift store bike. I will mostly ride on gravel and plan on riding a few times a week. I am planning on doing a bikepacking trip in October that is 150 miles crushed gravel.
I really know very little about bikes, and would like to gain knowledge as I go. I don't need anything crazy fancy, but would prefer to get something of quality rather than a bike that would need upgraded sooner than later. My budget is $500.
Can anyone help me decide if one of these marketplace bikes are a good match? Help prevent me from a cop out and getting an Ozark Trail from Wallyworld!

All of these bikes are different sizes. Figure out what size fits you. When you get into “real” bikes, this matters a lot. And it’s not as simple as SML
The brava is the best of the bunch for your trip.
