Why get rid of the old bike? You need at least two bikes so you will have one for good conditions and a "beater" for less desirable conditions.
Keep the old one and ride it until you've saved enough to buy a new one... then set it aside for a rainy day, or ride it occasionally for sentimental reasons.
