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.
