Yes, some designer was not paying attention. I am pretty sure this was the only size frame that this was an issue with.

Edit: actually, it might not have been the caliper itself but the cable just above where it attaches to the caliper. Its been 10 years, so memory is foggy.
Isn't that something. I get it. Interesting. The frame is screaming 'I want a rack' and the brake is fighting back... 'that'll never happen.' Kinda cool.
