I had one, but sold it due to a faulty BB / seat tube joint. That hanger is Aluminium. Personally, I'd avoid, or buy one in good nick. It's not like working with steel.
Other than that, I suppose you could also run it single-speed or hub-gear. If the hanger did bend back (I'm surprised it didn't just snap), then you'd be at constant risk of it snapping, though it's not a load-bearing mount.
