Yes that's right, this is what is written in the article
Before installing so much as a seat post, I knew I wanted even more tire clearance than the frame allowed. To do this I had the brake bridge removed and re-brazed to match the clearance of the fork, which enabled me to run a 700×42 tire front and rear.
Would've made more sense if it was like this from the beginning no?

Wheels and tyres are the same size in the photo. @kjlem was talking about the stated tyre clearance.
It is odd. The only thing I can think of is that they wanted a tucked rear end, and the front is a result of the fork crown and legs choice. But I don’t know enough about frame building to prove that.
Also lugs. Doesn’t that limit your geo freedom?
