I stupidly left my bike locked to a lamp post while I had a coffee yesterday, whilst unlocking it I was distracted by someone, the top tube slid down the lamp post, scratching the top tube slightly, it seems to be superficial, rubbing off a bit of the clear top coat, is there anything I can do to cover it, someone suggested clear nail varnish but I don't think it would give a good finish, anyone had the same problem (if it is a problem)

    Don't worry, it's entirely superficial - the top-layer weave-finish is purely cosmetic. Clear nail varnish or apply some clear Helicopter tape to protect the surface from further scratches.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
