I donât believe he sold it. He rode it a bit, but the fitness bug never really clicked for him. It was an attempt to get him back into a more healthy lifestyle.
I donât recall it creating much of an issue on the forum but Iâm old I forget things.
He absolutely sold it, nearly right away. He was a complex dude going thru some stuff⌠The sale created only a small kerfuffle among those who donated.
All of the above is correct.
Wow, getting old, and my memory ainât so good. I know the person who came in 2nd for the voting to get the bike.
The way I remember it, the ââTibbs Cervello debacleââ occurred on the main page when there was only the main page and no Lavender Room. Tibbs had an entry level tri bike and he was begging all the time ââI need a Cerveloââ. Gerard, the owner of Cervelo, posted all the time back then and finally gave him one. I guess it was a P2. Tibbs may or may not have crashed it but he only rode a couple of times and retired from triathlon. His wife was so embarrassed by the whole thing that she left him, and he continued to post but never mentioned the Cervelo again.
This page was originally just the Lavender Room, and somehow became Tibbs Lavender Room in his honor or in his disgrace.
Your recollections are a little off in places.
But I think Iâm close.
As usual you are wrong.
Wrong and gross this time. Then again everything with banana (aside from banana bread, banana pudding, banana custard, banana cream pie) is pretty awfulâŚwait, maybe you arenât wrong.
Hmm, not sure that is entirely 100%, or even 80%, but it is probably directionally correct.
There have been more than a few embarrassed wives over their hubbyâs LR postings/behavior. AJFrankeâs flameout comes to mind.
Generally I enjoy your posts and agree with much of what you write, but people who diss banana cream pie need to be cross checked into the boards.
âThen again everything with banana (aside from banana bread, banana pudding, banana custard, banana cream pie) is pretty awfulâŚâ
Aside from =except for. Iâll forgive the Canadian understanding of proper English vernacular. When you are our 51st state youâll be properly indoctrinated.
But i stand by most things banana are awful.
Were they âDissappointed?â 
Thatâs another one that should be recovered from The Snap

Readerâs digest version?
His wife left him because of an internet forum scandal?
I mean, Iâm sure there was more to it than that and maybe that was just the straw that broke the camels back but thatâs one hell of a straw to go out on.
Also, Iâve been here for like twenty years and I feel like I always miss out on the scandalous threads!
At least thatâs the way I remember it. He said that his wife left him over it.
Not true.
Come on, youâre being like deep throat here. Tell us the true facts.
Itâs his story to tell.
Hereâs when he posted about the bike. It was a P3.
Whoops. I should have had coffee before replying
