Yep - it has horizontal dropouts. I removed the dropout adjustment screws so I could pull the wheel all the way back in the dropouts, but that didn't give me more than a fraction of a mm more clearance. Moving the wheel forward made the problem quite a bit worse, so pulling it all the way back was my only option there.
