No tripod handy, sorry.
So if it is a double, the next question is whether I can switch out the crankset and make the brifter work with a double or whether I will need to do both.
I'd be happy to throw the triple on a Trek 620 Canti frame I'm building, but I don't know whether I want to invest in both a crankset AND a new shifter.

The thing on the Jamis is the road version, with the full-size triple, prolly 52/42/30 rings on a 130/74 5-bolt. The u factor is likely different on these cranks, which could cause problems depending on the shifters and FD used with the bike. But, if the jamis pictured is your bike, it's all road stuff, and you prolly just need to tune it s'more to get the shifter squared away.
Sorry; I'm looking back on my post, and i think i used the "word" 'prolly' about 4 times.

Yes, that's my bike. And you were right on the tooth count.
