One of my "projects" would fit the bill for these wheels, the frame has
no drop outs on the front forks, but it originally had Gem brakes
attached. Which makes the frame considerably more modern.

Maybe the Farrens could be interested, they have a couple of hickory
frames in their collection....?

Nah, for a far more convincing (and free) brrm brrm noise, simply squash
a beer can lengthwise and place btw the rear tread and brake bosses.
Hard to pedal and the novelty swiftly wears off....

Fitted to a cyclocross machine for the next singlespeed race?

Also fitted: one of those brrm brrm noise makers in the "street
cred" thread!

I've done that a few times "accidentally". You know, when you see a can
on the road and think "I'll squish that!", run over it and it wedges
against the fork.. grrrrrr rrrrrrr rrrrrrrr "Ah crap it! better get that
outta there before it kills my paint job!"
