Strip & Street is what S&S stands for and all I know is that they were a Muffler shop in Costa Mesa California, don't know if that turned out to the famous S&S Performance factory that is making engines/carburators for custom motorcycles but who cares. I was reading a BMX PLUS! magazine from 1980 and saw this S&S bike test and thought: "That's a nice bike to have in my collection" and checked ebay the same day. And out of the blue I saw an S&S frame with Diamond Back fork and my bit was high enough to be the winner of the auction. Turned out that the seller was Shannon of the ABA, same guy where I bought the IRC fronttire. Coincedence or not but after checking how to make the stickersets, Mike Hoogerheide saw a S&S stickerset on ebay! Yes I bought two sets so I can mess up one.
