Yes, a black Ironman with a Steeler's logo on the seat tube would be appropriate. You can start with the decal, and build the bike around it.

If I ever find a bike with a Steelers decal on it I will take it straight to the crusher.... even if it's a Paramount!

Go Browns!

A little bathroom cleaner that has bleach in it and a kitchen scrubby sponge works wonders on white hoods.

"Awesome" is great stuff - works much better than Simple Green and costs $1. Generally available at most versions of the 99 Cent Store. It comes in a spray bottle, and is concentrated so you can cut it 50% to make it last longer if you're a cheapskate.

Just spray it on the hoods, let it sit for a few seconds and sponge off with damp sponge. Repeat if they are particularly grungy.

I use it on everything from bar tape to frame. It is a great cleaner, and even works very well on your carpet as a spot remover.

It's awesome.

Or I could also consider a gold frame with a Steeler's decal. Or white, with gold accents like the away jerseys. The possibilities are endless.

Matt, you're lucky that I didn't see that before you got the Continental from me...

OP, did you ever find replacement hoods for your brake? I have the same ones but they're really ratty.

Well, I am just going to try cleaning them up with Simple Green or Awesome. If all the gooey gummy stuff wont come off, I will ask where I can get them

Hah! 9/10 when I go to Pittsburgh I wear a Cleveland Browns shirt (under another usually) I feel like in a small secret way I am sticking it to the Steelers fans... since the team themselves seem to fail at that over and over.

I miss Tommy Maddox, it was easier to make fun of the Steelers then.
