Course, then there's Ti and Carbon.

The stuff that rusts is usually not as big of a deal if you frame saver the frame (or take care to grease it in the right places and keep water generally out of it and keep the paint on it).

Bikes go outside. They can sleep there too. Well, not my babies, but other people's bikes.

Ug, the irony of the SSR stainless bike is the carbon fork... the bike will last forever and is not subject to damage by UV rays or even minor dings... the fork on the other hand, is the weak link.
