Somewhat unorthodox suggestion, but the smoothest shifting drivetrain I've ever owned or even heard about has been the SRAM X.9 2x10 kit recently installed on my Curt Goodrich (formerly I had the same group on a Redline mountain bike). The way the chainrings are ramped on the x.9 crank is a thing of beauty, but forget about swapping out other rings. My crank is a 42/28, but a 39/26 is also available. I have an 11-36 cassette, which makes for a near perfect gear range. You'll probably maybe have to use a non-SRAM front derailleur for tire/fender clearance reasons. Of course the SRAM stuff is all black, smoky gray, or maybe white, which is what makes it unorthodox for a Riv. But if you can get over the color issue, it's awesome.
