FWIW, stainless steel is very rarely used in bike construction, with the exception of spokes and some expensive frames from boutique builders. Many stainless steels are less strong and harder to work with than cro-moly and its cousins, and corrosion of non-stainless steels is effectively halted with paint.
Thanks for the info...
