Unfortunately, the intersection of "more like $100" and "more quality than a Walmart/K-Mart/Sears bike" is pretty much the null set. If your price point is pretty firm, then the best suggestion is to start looking for a used bike. Even then, you will be looking at something in the Schwinn- or Monarch-class. There are some good deals on eBay if you are willing to wait for them (I picked up my carbon fiber Trek 5200 on eBay for less than 1/3 the retail price, but it was because I was willing to wait for the right bike and right deal to come along). Good luck!
