Clear nail varnish? I've never tried it myself as I only wear pink nail varnish ordinarily....Nobody told me we had a communication problem0

Put some on mine... All the inner yellow parts on the frame and forks,the SRAM on the top tube and the Ritchey on the seat post are all decals,
The one on the seat post (Ritchey) is the only one that I put a top coat of clear coat lacquer on and to tell you the truth it made the decal look faded and the edges started to lift so I left all the others and they are stuck solid don't think they will ever lift,plus the SRAM decals on the top tube have taken a few knocks with no problems...0 -
Never mind protecting the decals, I'd be looking for something to protect my ars* - maybe a saddle peut être.Nobody told me we had a communication problem0
