When you're rerouting the brake cables, move the rear cable away from the head tube onto the non drive side of the front cable. If you wish to do this now, simply loosen the cable anchor of the front caliper and pull the stem out of the steerer.
Oh good catch, thank you. I had to get under the brake cable along the top tube because that's where most of the rust was so I decided to replace the brake cable and the bar tape and did not to think to put the cable back where it belonged. I didn't remove the cable housing because it was stuck in those holders tight and I didn't want to rip or cut it out because of fear of not being able to find white cable housing again.
