Here 'ya go . I've used on of these for a few years . It's a modern Silver RD. They still have them in stock . . .lol. http://www.jensonusa.com/!xFzOUiKZz4ZvnT31UVLKxg!/Shimano-LX-M581-Rear-Derailleur
Frankly .. the older Shimanos I prefer , like from the 80/90's. They've lightened the spring action to make indexed shifting easier, but for friction, I find the lighter spring action a bit* too* easy. The older RD's rock solid held a gear very easily. The newer ones you gotta be more precise or it can hop to another gear. Oh well . .. one's "progress" is anothers "decline" . .lol ;-) On Saturday, June 2, 2012 10:21:45 PM UTC-4, Scot Brooks wrote: > > As my new bicycle is taking shape, I'm painfully aware all-over-again that > there are very few rear derailers being made in silver these days that will > accomodate my 12-36t cassette.
