Bikes: Iron Monkey: a junkyard steel 26" slick-tired city bike. Grey Fox: A Trek 7x00 frame, painted, with everything built, from spokes up. Jet Jaguar: A 92 Cannondale R900 frame, powder coated matte black with red and aluminum highlights.

... or, alternately, put it in a vice and go at it with a pain of channel lock pliers, perhaps with some wood in the jaws to keep from biting into the hanger. Bend it, look, bend it, look...

It'll never be perfectly aligned and sooner or later it will be too soft to keep using, but until that happens, you can extend the life of the thing dramatically.
