power rack and bar

WARD WHEELER said:

I have an old York 110 pound barbell set, 1 inch diameter bar, and I want to
get a power rack, but all decent power racks are too wide for my 5' bar.
Buying an Olympic bar and all new weights ( around 450 pounds) would be
kinda pricey. Where can I get a nice l inch bar six or seven feet long that
I can use with my old plates, on a new power rack?

Looked on Interent, no joy.

New York Barbells has 7-foot bars that take standard (i.e. 1-inch)
plates. Those bars should fit the power racks just fine. The more
common six-foot bar for standard plates is probably too short; my
six-footer has only 44 inches between the plates, which will not fit
most racks.

Any exercise equipment store should be able to take care of you. This is a
very standard type of bar. I have seen them priced at about $30.
