Looking for a perspex rod

I'd like to start taking more serious bike photos and in googling around, it seems that a perspex rod is often used to prop the bike up for the photo.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to look/purchase one? Thank you.

Look in McMaster-Carr Supply. In their Raw Materials section, they have clear multipurpose plastic in any shape

Acrylic rod @ Amazon

What size you would need, dunno. Probably 3/8" or bigger. I think 1/4" would want to flex too much.
