My 15 year old Surly Crosscheck is probably my most ridden bike - it was one of the 'first' gravel bikes (they've been making them for 20 years) before they really became a thing. The cantilever brakes are rubbish but that just makes it more fun.

If you haven't, and have the budget to do so, try a set of Paul Components mini motos. Fantastic brakes.

I have a bike with cantilevers too, I admire their robustness but yep, definitely not the quickest way to stop in a hurry.
