Steven, that room looks incredible very well done!! Just curious how you have organized the CJ's that are framed or if its random?

Not a great picture, but here's some cycling stuff I framed. Poster, snapshot, racing license and some medals from Julio Capdepont, Uruguayan national champ at inseperable teams back in the 20's.

The frame is a kit where you buy the sides individually, so you can make a lot of different sizes. I think the sides range from 4 inches to 24+ in 2 inch steps.
Bought the UV glass at a local framing shop that's not there anymore.
Cut the mats myself, 3-4 layers, to leave room for the medals.

I might not have framed the stuff, but felt bad that all that stuff including the national championship medal only went for a bit less than dinner at a decent chain restaurant. I figured even long gone he deserved a bit better than the stuff representing his career being stuck in holders in a box on another continent.

Should have added that the green that matches the paper the poster is on was an obvious choice as it's the color used for most of the Bianchi pro bikes, and Bianchi was his sponsor. Sort of like Ferraris being red.
