So after several years of serving me well I gave up on this bike since I was no longer able to find replacement Bushings. It gave me a excuse to by my Ellsworth though which I love.
Every once in awhile I see the frame sitting in my garage and I think about building it back out, got plenty of extra parts laying around to do it.
In another thread I found someone mentioned that they were able to find bushings at

Well Looks like they are a pretty standard size but there are so many materials to choose from Nylon, Delrin, Rulan, PTFE, and various incarnations of those also. Any one go this route yet? and what type of material worked well for you? Also specific part numbers you may have ordered from this or another manufacture would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like there is a ready source of derailleur hangers to be had
