I can't tell what "itsmoot" has done with the rear derailleur, but something was done. Either a replacement rear derailleur, or maybe a Shiftmate.

I took a slightly different approach, and swapped in low profile cantilever brakes for the V brakes, as well as an XT rear derailleur to replace the SRAM.
