A Motley Crew: Jaap, Nico & Giulio

Motley crews are non-uniform and undisciplined as a group. They are characterised by containing characters of conflicting personality, varying backgrounds, and, usually to the benefit of the group, a wide array of methods for overcoming adversity (wikipedia).

enMeet Jaap (Netherlands - architect/telecoms/self-made man), Nico (Belgium - IT/software developer) and Giulio (Italy - student). Location, age or profession would not normally bring these people together, but the love of bikes and the need to get their hands dirty to build their very own bicycles actually did. This whole week they fired up the flames, burned their fingers, cut their skin, filed away in heat, sweat and noise, and all that with a smile. Congratulations guys and thank you for this memorable week of framebuilding !

PS: Is anyone else getting the feeling that there's a growing need in this early 21st century for people to break away from computers and office chairs and do something with their hands ?

enVoici Jaap (Pays-bas - architecte/télécoms/self-made man), Nico (Belgique - IT/développeur) et Giulio (Italie - etudiant). La géographie, l’age et la profession ne les auraient pas fait se rencontrer en temps normal, mais la passion du vélo et le besoin de se salir les mains pour fabriquer leur propre vélo a bien réussi a le faire. Pendant toute une semaine, ils ont manié flammes et limes, se sont brûlés les doigts, coupés la peau, le tout sous la chaleur, la sueur et le bruit mais toujours avec le sourire. Chapeau les artistes et un grand merci pour se stage qui restera dans les annales !

PS: J'ai comme l'impression qu'il y a un besoin grandissant en ce début de XXIieme siècle de lâcher le PC et la chaise de bureau pour retrouver des activités manuelles, pas vous ?
