With 130 spacing I'd go w/ a single speed freehub conversion kit on a wheel already owned w/ the 17T cog from a cassette set-up for the proper chain line on a 1/2 X 3/32 road chain. If you have enough adjustment in the dropout: Good to go. Otherwise use an old rear derail as a chain tensioner. Easy/inexpensive, functional and the QR still works.
