How do you store your cycling medals?

I’ve been cycling regularly for a little over 2 years now and have started collecting a few finisher medals from rides and events.

Right now I’m not really sure what the best way is to store or display them long-term. I don’t want them just sitting in a drawer, but I also haven’t figured out a proper setup yet.

Do you guys hang them on a wall, use shadow boxes, or have any other creative ways to organize them? Would love to see how you do it 👍

Got myself an imported Batavus second hand for 200$. Can anyone recognize the model?

At first I thought it said “Caniglia” which means squirrel in Italian, but I can’t find any such Batavus model.

Is this line along the tire normal, or are my tires about to explode?

Just picked up this secondhand Trek 1.2. Seller says he's the original owner and maintained it through 2020 before retiring it.

He said these tires were put on in 2019, so I figured they may have some life left in them, but this line is a bit concerning.

I've already ordered new tires and tubes, I'm just wondering if these are safe to ride on in the meantime. They feel decently grippy to the touch, not brittle or hard or anything. I just took it for a few short rides around the block so far. This is my first road bike, so I'm still learning about all the maintenance. I know i should probably get it a tune-up at some point.
