[#0000FF]Most standard spinning rods fit easily inside the 1" type 200 PVC tube...but not the thicker walled schedule 40 1". And the type 200 is harder to find. I almost always find it at Lowes but not at Home Depot.
Also, if you look in the plumbing section you can often find clamps for 1" frame pipe with a 1" fitting for connecting pipe. Better than drilling, but you can drill and screw...without weakening the frame...if you use some silicone seal around the screw holes to keep out water and prevent rust.

Some folks take exception to it but I have never known a frame to fail or rust because of it.
