I'd be interested to know of any budget friendly ss options. I had this problem when researching ss trail worthy bikes as there are not many out there really. Most are frame only and more pricey, especially in steel (I went with a Moxie frame in the end). The NS eccentric cromo is cheaper. British company Identiti have a good ss dropout system but they're alu frames.
Re WTB rims, I've run a rear Asym 35 rim for a couple of years and it feels like a quality product. Broke some spokes though, but that's probably 'cos I built the wheel myself, LOL.
