The price of this barbell can be between $120 to almost $200. At the lower prices, it's not terrible. The knurling is very passive, but as a first bar, it's fine. It's 28.5 mm, and I have had some decent weight on it before. I think it's a perfectly fine budget bar if you can find at the lower prices. Check Amazon versus the Cap barbell store, but it seems like it may not be available on Amazon anymore.
