Buying benches

Is there a good place or site that I can buy just a regular olympic bench without all this added on 5hit? Like the ones they have in the gym.

I got mine at the Sports Authority for $80, and another $120 for a 300 pound olympic weight set.

Be sure to test the bench. I spent about 60 on mine and the thing isn't standard, I guess. I'll pinch my fucking hands right off unless I grip the bar so close that it's more of a tri exercise than a chest. Oh well, it's decent for free weights.

I don't know, I need to buy a new one also.
I'd stay away from Dick's stuff, they're benches are akward to say the least. I bought mine from Dick's and lifted on someone elses different model also from Dick's.
I think I'd buy a dedicated solid flat bench with no incline and a seperate incline or variable incline. just mho
