Paramount Frame -- Installed the front brake cable and housing

The front brake cable is routed along the handlebar, like the rear.  On both sides, a few pieces of electrical tape is used to hold the brake cable housing in place, prior to installing the bar tape. 


The front brake cable housing is routed pretty directly to the front brake assembly.  There just needs to a little bit of slack to allow for movement for steering, for when the front wheel turned to the left (when turned to the right, there's actually less slack required).

The cable was clamped to the brake with the proper adjustment for the brake shoes to wheel gap. 

The cable was cut to length and a cap was crimped on the end of the cable to keep it from unraveling.
