Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Vaseline will work really well to get the nail polish off. Acetone, and alcohol based removers will damage the epoxy resin used to solidify the carbon fiber.

This may or may not be bull****. I decided to give you a warning this time.
