Randy, wheelbase is where the tires touch the ground or axle to axle. I measured from the front of the front wheel to the rear of the rear wheel, thus OVERALL length of 88". The rear wheel is a 700c and the front is 1 1/8" (451 in techno terms, as opposed to a 406)

edit, I just pushed it up against a wall and used a square to the outside of the front wheel and got 90&1/2" for the overall. Sorry, my first measure was sloppy.
