I would have said that he needs to ride it more
As for the new wheels or bike. I'm saying new wheels cause after 3 or 4 months you'll want to bling the new bike also. I have found this rather bad when the numberof bikes you have increase year by year.

Should I take the plunge?
Should I just do it and resurrect the old Scott?
A rear brake only fixie?
Am thinking about it very much.

A "rear brake only" fixie will see folk stop, point, and laugh as you ride down the street.

Front only, Malcy. The fixed cog IS the rear brake.
Front and rear are acceptable if you're as gay as I am...

brakes on fixies 
I was a bad bad bad boy and got a proper sized eno hub with a 14t, so I can run a 90inch gear at the track. Might need to go up eventually, but it's fine for now
Only if I'm going to ride around on the gear it cannont be windy ever again.
