It’s doable but beware the rear width wont be 120mm so you’d need a special hub to have it fit properly.

There is such thing as a fixed hub for 130 spacing, but it’s rare. Another thing you’d have to consider is chain line alignment between the cog and chainring.
Again, doable, it’s just a question of how much are you willing to spend? It’s TT geometry, are you using this on a velodrome for TTs? If not, I would just spend the money on a different frame.
Edit to add link for a shiv TT converted for track use:
It works quite well, I have been riding one more or less daily for a year.
The only downsides are pedal strikes (never happened in real use) and the descending position that puts like 98% of your weight on your wrists and shoulders.

Truly not worth it.
