If your definition of 'old school' is somewhat flexible (up to 1986), a bent-out Dia-Compe Tech 5 is in no way inferior to a modern lever.

My favorite are my dia compe 284 levers. They are intended for MTB. The extra length of this lever really helps you with added leverage for greater braking power, especially for side pull brakes.
