I guess it depends on the frame but I think the concern about chainring clearance on a 130mm spaced frame is overstated. I used to run a Salsa Casseroll as a fixed gear, and it had 130mm hub spacing. A 42t chainring at the appropriate chainline for a track hub (~42mm) never had any clearance issues.
