Re:
Finally finished my Alu SBIKE XTR M900 build with Original fork
Transfers from Gil will be added at the weekend then I will be taking it out for a spin
I also have a set of XTR M900 wheels I might add but I quite like the look of SBIKes with Spin Wheels

Yes, there was a steel model, my bike friend in town owned one, back in early 90ies.
My friend´s steel S-Bike was red coloured, the shape of the Frame was the same as the Alu ones, but it was a Little bit thinner, as I remember.

Here is a steel S-Bike 506, offered at Ebay Germany:

Any idea of the weight of the frame? Considering buying or building one to replace one of my PACE bikes...

No idea on the alu frames (there are no official numbers and for some reason I never weighed my 728's frame), but my 508 frame is around 2650g without BB or headset. That's a steel one, and a small. Add a bit for medium and large due to the extra seat tube length and the extra 20mm of the main tube.

So a sub 25lb bike should be easy without front suspension?!

My 728 (full XT groupset, XT hubs with Ambrosio CC22 rims, the Sbike Alu/Ti fork) was 12.0kg, so around 26.5lbs.
964boy's 729 (full XTR) is 11.0kg IIRC, which translates to 24.2lbs.
Both bikes measured with M730 pedals attached, by the way. If you go the weight weenie route, getting near or below 22lbs shouldn't be too hard.
Of course a lot depends on the fork. If you can't get your hands on the Alu/Ti fork, you'll have to go the carbon route or find something equally trick. The Cro-Moly Sbike fork (I happen to have one for sale) isn't too heavy, but it's still Cro-Moly so we're talking 855g
