I don't think I've ever seen a rear brake MC like that one with an integrated res.

Some Honda CRFs have an integrated MC, I've fitted one to the TDR.

I really don't like the look of remote reservoirs on MCs, Possibly because they just look like an afterthought. I see the reasons for them, I just don't like them.

I wouldn't buy a quick road bike without one. Form before function is just stupid.

Is the MC intentionally a smiley face, or is that a coincidence?
