most likely this is the best solution. you might have difficulty routing the housing and/or mounting the caliper, but it is definitely worth looking at and it don't cost 'nuthin.
afterall, my late '80's Stumpjumper (granted, an evil MTB) has a U-brake, mounted underneath the CHAINSTAYS, for crying out loud.
