Hacksaw= Uneven cut and time consuming + needs to be sanded or filed afterwards
Bandsaw= Hard to get the right angle on a curved bar, also they are expensive or hard to get ahold of if you dont already have one.
Jesus H Christ, if you can't get a smooth, even cut with a hacksaw blade you need to re-evaluate whether you should be riding a bike without the aid of training wheels.
Throw a wrap of tape around the bar to act as a guide. 5 minutes tops, another minute to run a file around the edige.

This is Africa, 1943. War spits out its violence overhead and the sandy graveyard swallows it up. Her name is King Nine, B-25, medium bomber, Twelfth Air Force. On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
