Actually you find those (Mafac-type centre pulls) on older bikes (especially French). The handlebar diameter is much smaller than on modern bikes, so you might run into problems when getting new brake levers.

I have them on my old road bike, the brake performance is... well... not that great if it is moist. Yes, I run them with modern pads (BBB cyclo cross) on modern rims.
