Thinking of getting a barbell set

Which bar and bumpers should I get.  I’ve seen that Pendlay is very popular.  How does it compare to Eleiko? Its much cheaper and people say the quality is just as good.
Maybe some of the olympic lifters can chime in.

Pendlay is the way to go.  The new Pendlay bars spin like a well oiled machine. They last forever, I have had mine for three years and its like brand new.  The grip on the Pendlay bar is very tough giving you a very good grip, much better than the Eliko witch is very slippery.  The Pendlay plates bounce beautifully.  The Eliko bar that I lifted on a while ago locked up on me and almost broke my wrist, I dont trust eliko and I never will after that, I trust Pendlay, plus Glenn Pendlay is the man.

Ill second that ive never seen a Pendlay bar that didn’t spin!

Good bar for the money!

I’ve only lifted on his bumpers a little but they seem alright im not sure if they are as good as a Werksan or Eleiko but they are much cheeper.
