Frame Sizes for Custom Cycling Route Maps

  • Choosing the Right Frame Size

    When selecting your 3D map, it's important to choose a size that fits your space and ensures the details are visible and impactful. Here's a guide based on common display locations:

    Home Office or Near Your Desk
    Recommended Size: 30 × 40 cm
    • Perfect for close-up viewing and appreciating fine detail while seated or working.

  • Dining Room, Meeting Room, or Lounge Area
    Recommended Size: 40 × 50 cm or 50 × 70 cm
    • Works well as a background piece, conversation starter, or personal achievement display.

    Conference Room, Lobby, or Store Wall
    Recommended Size: 50 × 70 cm
    • Makes a bold visual statement and draws attention in larger spaces.

    Pain Caves or Training Rooms
    Recommended Size: Depends on available wall space
    • Choose a size that complements your setup without overwhelming the space — larger sizes offer better visibility during training sessions.

  • Standard Frame Sizes

    • 30 × 40 cm (11.8″ × 15.7″) – Compact and versatile. A great option for smaller spaces and gifts, with good balance of route detail and presence.
    • 40 × 50 cm (15.7″ × 19.7″) – Our recommended size. Provides the best combination of detail, clarity, and impact — ideal for most routes and display locations.
    • 50 × 70 cm (19.7″ × 27.6″) – The largest format we offer. Maximises detail and creates a striking centerpiece for any room.
  • Custom Sizes (by request)

  • Choosing by Use Case

    Gift

    • 30×40 cm (11.8″ × 15.7″) or 40×50 cm (15.7″ × 19.7″) — 30×40 cm is an excellent option, but 40×50 cm and larger provide greater route detail.

    Race Day Display

    • 40×50 cm (15.7″ × 19.7″) or 50×70 cm (19.7″ × 27.6″) — impressive impact and excellent detail for showcasing event achievements.

    Training Room / Pain Cave

    • 40×50 cm (15.7″ × 19.7″) or 50×70 cm (19.7″ × 27.6″) — ideal for creating a bold focal point and inspiring rides.

    Long Scenic Routes

    • 40×50 cm (15.7″ × 19.7″) or larger — ensures wide areas and elevation changes are captured with clarity and detail.
  • About the Level of Detail

    The amount of detail shown in your map depends on the route’s length and the area it covers:

    • Shorter or compact routes allow for more intricate features (e.g., switchbacks, water details, road layering)
    • Longer routes may be scaled down for clarity, showing larger shapes and terrain contours

    We carefully adjust each design to match your route’s characteristics, ensuring the best possible representation.

  • Crafted from Natural Wood – Individually Made

    Every map is made from natural wood and handcrafted in Japan.
    You can expect variations in wood grain, texture, and finish — no two pieces are exactly the same.
    We continually refine our process, including:

    • Materials
    • Paint techniques
    • Layering methods
    • Finishing touches
  • What Your Map May Include

    Route Line – Laser-cut from bold orange wood
    Elevation Chart – Raised bar chart on a top layer
    Topographic Contours – Engraved from terrain data
    Roads and Trails – Mapped and cut from your GPX data
    Water Features – Layered in painted blue tones
    Ride Stats – Distance, elevation, time, and more
    Custom Engraving – Name, personal message, sponsor, or event title
