I just picked one of these up, my first MTB, and there was a thought the fork might be out of line. I measured the wheelbase as 43 1/2". Here are some photos:

Thanks!

Cool bike. I have no idea about the fork. You will probably get good info at mtbr.com. There are a bunch of old-school Univega cross country people there.

That looks, and sounds about right.

If the fork blades were "in line" with the headtube, you'd have one very squirrelly handling bike.

Google rake and trail in regards to bicycles and see what you come up with.
