Here's a picture of that and also how my brake hose is now situated.

Brake line twisted to prevent head tube finish damage.



A little Isopropyl Alcohol cleaned the residual and then I hit it with New Finish polish and she's BEAUTIFUL!

Edit: I think I'll try pulling the brake lever and running it inside if the other cables to captivate it. As it is, from this angle it looks like it sticks out but in reality, it's oriented just fine and doesn't look out of place. Most importantly, none of the cables are near any carbon finish.
