Nice work! A good cleaning and rebuild is in order and the only things I would upgrade would be a nice pair of grippy BMX pedals & a Brooks B17 Saddle..........................................
I'm with you on the saddle and pedals, but being tall I'll probably also change the bars, the pull backs don't give me enough room
 
Cool ride. Looking at the fork, I believe it was made by Giant. A layback post will give you more room. My guess is will have a 1” post. Truetorch make a really solid cromo post than wont bend.

According to this thread, they were made by Fairly, and later Hodaka. I think it's all connected to Giant somehow though.

I love the fork, especially with the graphics intact. Jamis had some super cool parts back then, like the Cheeks saddle, Sandjam tread tires, and the absolute best, the Sandjam Barefoot pedal, one side plastic for with shoes, the other side with a black rubber coating for barefoot cruising. They really tried to capitalize on the beach cruisin scene of the 80s

I'm confused by the post, in measures .97?

Found this thread with a search before I picked mine up, my s/n is F5...
 
The inside of the seat tube probably measures 1.0

You have to have some pinch room for the clamp to do its job
After removing seat post I found it marked 24.8mm, I've not seen this size before.
