All the stress riser and structural integrity talk is informative, I learned a lot that I never considered before. Buttt tons of those roll stamped bars are still on the road after all these years, along with plenty of bars that got deeper scratches than I etched just from bodging them into stem clamps or falling over in day to day use.

I have a univega with super tight clearances, this style shimano canti and the old dia compes fit well. The shimanos feel more powerful and you can get the cool deore ones for cheap on ebay or the new altus verson here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-altus-ct91-cantilever-brake/rp-prod38378

The velocity a23 come in a classic-looking silver polish with a bunch of different drillings. I have em in black and they're the shit.
