OP, just buy that puppy (don't listen to the naysayers on here), all 7.5 lbs of it, slap some Albatross bars on it, and continue routinely riding your 16 to 100 miles/day and you will be flying. I'll bet your 'average speed' gets up near 22/23 mph within a week. Even higher with a few choice upgrades.
This is Bike Forums; anything is possible.
I don't wanna ride in a more upright position than the mountain bike standard, it'll slow me down and be less of a workout. I'll probably get bar end grips so I'll have another hand position to switch to to help keep my hands from going numb
