I have a question about that, could I run the cable housing right to the adjuster? Right now when I adjust the seat it either loosens or tightens the brake by moving the bracket on the seat post.

She is a 1978 that was repainted (possibly by schwinn/waterford) sometime in the 80's. I kinda identify with the bike, I was a kid in the 70's but the 80's were much better for me.
