You should be able to stretch that to 135mm with no problem - assuming a steel frame, and then use one of these: 48H Halo SPIN DOCTOR 8/9 MTB Rear

the Sun Rhyno Lite or Velocity Dyad rim; Wheelsmith or DT Smith or similar spokes.

Then all is need is to rig up a bracket for the disc brake caliper.
