I believe 199 models are 1 1/8″. I have 3- 1997s and they are all 1 1/8″, My son has a 2000 Moab and it is 1 1/8″ too.
If you liked the SID, go with another one, except you may have to go with a longer travel. I’ve got 4 bikes with 80mm travel and one with 100mm travel. I like the 80mm best. All have remote lock-out and dual air. I pick them up lightly used on Ebay in the $200 to $350 range shipped. My son has an 80mm travel RL100 Fox he likes with bigger stanchions. I have a newer SID Team on my 2009 Epic that I like too.

This frame I ended up with through a friend that got it from a factory rep. The frame is brand new. ))

Very very nice!That’s what I figured. If I had that I would never sell, I’d display it next to my 87 Paramount on the family room wall.
Back to the seatpost clamp issue. I have 2 PU, and the seatpost diameters are the same inside 26.8mm, BUT the outside diameter on one is 1 mm bigger! It has to be the finish. The method I used on the first bike with a 31.8 clamp won’t work for the other bike. I didn’t find that out till I went to changeout the seatpost clamp to another one. I found a place called DKG Machine Shop that manufactures a 33 mm clamp and ordered 2. I’ll let you know how that works out.
Your frame and decals look to be in great shape. I have 3 of these. The one pictured, another that I use as a hybrid, and a cracked frame that I can’t bare to get rid of. They are so lightweight and climb like goats. No mountains in FL where I am, but the closet I come are little “goat” trails in rock quarries around Ocala, FL. Very hard to find and not many people that realize what they are.
