Morning 'long black' coffee from The J Walk Cafe, date and almond mix, Knog bicycle lights to recharge, and my favourite (70s bathroom green) pacer pencil. Typical morning for early 2014.

Auckland streets

One of many great examples of retro architecture in Auckland.

Geometric green.

Incredible timber work on the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki.

The final outing for the Planet X 50s carbon wheels, and for that matter, the bike. Auckland 70.3 Ironman Asia Pacific Championships. 10+ years out of those wheels. 

Side street 'composition'.

Tourist information booth made from shipping containers at the Silo Park on Auckland's Waterfront. Just beside was a little library, reading room made in the same fashion.

Auckland city cycle route signage.

Fitzroy coffee

Long black coffee out of a bathroom green cup. Grace cafe. Fitzroy, Melbourne.

My Atlas Goldline

Have had my eye on an Atlas bicycle for years. 280aed from Satwa on Saturday night. Was tempted to keep the wrapping on it - a popular look with gardeners in Jumeriah. I will modify it, like those I've seen in Sri Lanka. Watch for updates.

Made in India (for export). Great painted headtube badge. Atlas was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens, but check out his little shoes.

The braking system is solid. Steel rods, no cables. Stainless steel hood detail on the fork. Functional?

Reflector. Digging the curves.

Frame number on the seat-tube matches the inspection chit. Even the printing is beautiful - block colours and gold ink. Atlas = superior quality, advanced technology. (1951 speak I believe)

Chain guard. The gold lines are actually hand painted. Atlas Goldline. Dubai. 

Thai island

1000 something?

Tropical storm strikes on transfer from terminal to aircraft.

 Geometric.

Blue taxi-bus strip light.

Mountain forest pool. Tropical butterflies, humidity, tranquility.

 Fuel stop. Hand pump from the barrel.

 Handwritten gauge.

 Pebbles to count the liters.

 Gecko eating dragonfly.

 Metallic green Honda.

Green taxi-bus strip light.

 Ladyboy in transit.

Red taxi-bus strip light.

Skin nibbling fish.

 Tropical storm pushing in.

All fake. Not one fixed price.
