Mystery 80s MTB Frame ID?

Perhaps not much of a mystery. Think it might be a Jamis of some sort (or possibly a Novara or Diamondback), repainted, ridden hard, put away wet and left to molder. If so maybe someone can help with the model?
Serial number is hard to make out under the paint, but appears to be an "A" followed by 4 or 5 indecipherable numbers (which, along with the seat tube lug, led me to Jamis).
Other notable features include double water bottle braze ons on the downtube, fastback seat stays, plus attachment points for a portage strap. Fork dropout/lugs look an awful lot like those I've seen on old Ritchey Logics. Tange stamps on the fork ends.
​The jumble of high end components caught my eye initially, though most are long past their prime. And the paint itself has a nice shimmer where the rust hasn't crept in.
... Should be a fine winter commuter project regardless of what it is, but appreciate any identification help y'all might be able to offer!
