There's never a bad excuse for N+1, but this is about as close as you can get.


That bike above looks kind of cool. Have you ridden it?


I would suggest keeping the old bike and working on it to make it work. Having a backup bike is a good idea. As for cutting your hands when you work, the way it works is this: When you first start doing mechanical stuff like that, you tend to cut yourself and it's a pain. After a while, you still cut yourself, but you don't care anymore.
