You can always pick up lightly used good markers on Craigslist. Bunch of Freshmen in college that need beer money because they dont paintball anymore.

I sold all my gear about 5 years ago so I will need to start all over again.

Anyone interested in getting together to go paintballing this year?

I would be. Keep an eye on groupon. There are a couple of places that put out a really good deal so even people with out equipment can get in on the action for cheap.

they usually use the Tippmann 98 Custom and as long as they maintain them they work fairly well.

these were much better than the tipmanns, forgot the brand/type but I liked them, my friends all played collegiate paintball at UMD (have decked out guns) and they were surprised by the rentals as well

Tipmanns have always been reliable rentals. I just prefer having my own gear.

what brands should I be looking at? been out of the paintball world for sometime. Glad to see Bob Long is still making 1K+ guns tho.

Jeff figured the bike is still worth a decent amount now, and its basically going to sit around for 8+ months. So offload it now and pickup something next year assuming people are still biking then lol. I would probably buy one even if everyone had stopped by then though. Its an idea I am currently tossing around

Could be a good deal for any ricer/noob looking to get into biking that uses that size frame

That's about $400 too much since you prolly cracked the frame and Treks warranty isn't transferable.
