Wasn't there talk once of Riv making a Silver-branded derailleur where the spring in the parallelogram could be reversed, so it would work either way? I'm sure it was a long shot.
I hated rapid-rise but, as others note, it's just what you get used to. Look for the deore xt or xtr mountain bike versions, if you want to stock up. They are cheaper than earlier versions, because of demand. And they are better looking than the newer ones, being still in available in a polished-like finish and simpler shape.
