   I found 121 photos I'd taken and forgotten of the contents of Ed Grothus' BLACK HOLE, aka Los Alamos Sales Co, including never-seen stuff from his initial "collection" inside houses and garages in nearby White Rock. Photos taken in 2009.

   There's some vintage computing gear that will make you shit bluebirds. Who knows where it went. He died in 2009.

   The page below is very old (1990s), I've left the original awful text, just put images inline and added the 2009 stuff.

   (The improvements in digital photo technology from 1998 to 2009 are remarkable.)

   I miss Ed.

     I clicked thru and scrolled down all the pics, but I couldn't see any bicycle parts.

     I imagine Emily would manage to find a small chunk of plutonium and make an RTG out of it with which to power a bike lamp.

     No, no bikes. Lots of stuff left over from making labs that make nukes though.

     "Did you make that headlight yourself? It's cool," the stranger says to me.

     "I sure did!" I reply, smiling to reveal that half of my teeth have fallen out.
