Motley crews<\/strong> 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).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"en\"Meet 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 !<\/p>\n

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 ?<\/p>\n

\"en\"Voici Jaap (Pays-bas - architecte\/t\u00e9l\u00e9coms\/self-made man), Nico (Belgique - IT\/d\u00e9veloppeur) et Giulio (Italie - etudiant). La g\u00e9ographie, l\u2019age et la profession ne les auraient pas fait se rencontrer en temps normal, mais la passion du v\u00e9lo et le besoin de se salir les mains pour fabriquer leur propre v\u00e9lo a bien r\u00e9ussi a le faire. Pendant toute une semaine, ils ont mani\u00e9 flammes et limes, se sont br\u00fbl\u00e9s les doigts, coup\u00e9s 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 !<\/p>\n

PS: J'ai comme l'impression qu'il y a un besoin grandissant en ce d\u00e9but de XXIieme si\u00e8cle de l\u00e2cher le PC et la chaise de bureau pour retrouver des activit\u00e9s manuelles, pas vous ?<\/p>\n\n\t\t
