You can probably get a machine shop to bore out the hinge and sleeve it for a new pin. I really don't think that your pin is bent, it looks more like the hinge is just warn out.

Too bad you don't live on the East Coast. I have a Dahon Speed P8 I could have hooked you up with. All I'd need is for someone to pick it up.

It might be possible to set this up as a dinglespeed, if there was enough space on the coaster brake for two narrower sprockets. It looks like it is hard to get much range that way, and you wouldn't...
