I weigh 220, the savings in weight with a carbon seat post was a small percentage on bike plus rider weight!
I use the Jamis 90% for rail trail rides/tours or local trail/path riding - I have a carbon frame road bike for hillier day rides. So, I really like the 1x drivetrain on the Jamis, wouldn't really be changing the fork geometry.
The SRAM "unidirectional" shifting takes a while getting used to, probably would have preferred Shimano GRX but the SRAM components do seem more reliable/less finicky that the Ultegra Shimano components on my road bike.

Carbon seat post also gave me trouble with slippage... had to put several coats of antislip and tighten things past the torque spec to get it to stay put. (I am 195 lbs). Hope it holds.
Otherwise love the bike. Experimenting with some different tires really does change the personality.
(I wish I had it in 2x rather than 1x config tho'. I might buy a new S1 frame with the flip chip fork and buld one up!)
