PLZ HALP: Crank/BB/Chainring

I am converting my Lotus Pro-Series 2000R to a fixed/single...

my bike info

I'm currently trying to figure out what to do about my BB & crankset. My chainrings are pretty worn, and don't seem to be replaceable, and I'd rather not use a new chain and rear cog with a worn out chainring. I also want to move from the 170mm crank to a 165mm, and for various reasons I'd like to stay at 130mm BCD. I need help figuring out which crank/BB/chainring will work well.

The BB seems to have something like a 32mm ID. On this chart, my spindle is roughly

A 33mm
B 53mm
C 33mm
D 129mm



Ideally I'd like to get a somewhat cheap used crank, buy a new chainwheel, and buy new cartridge BB, and I'd like to spend <$50 on all of it, but I'm starting to realize that might not be possible, and I'm not totally against buying new SRAM or Sugino cranks. LMK what I should do. Thanks!
