+1 this. Just be sure whatever derailleur you choose wraps enough chain to handle your gear range. And most modern derailleurs incorporate both SunTour's slant pantograph and Shimano's sprung upper pivot, so performance is likely to be as good or better than the old Cyclone, even from a relatively low-end modern derailleur.
