What is your objective?
It sounds to me like you bought the bike to cycle to work but you are finding the bike that you bought doesn't fit you so you are finding it inconvenient to ride to work.
Do whatever it takes to meet your objective. A year from now, if you don't replace the bike, you will forgotten whatever else you spent the money on but you'll still have a bicycle that you don't want to use.
