No no don't worry i won't.
I'll do as much de rusting with vinegar as i can and don't know wether i do touchups on the worst spots or keep it clean and top it of with clear paint/ nail polish.
My goal is to bring it back to it's former glory parts wise that is.
I assume this bike was equipped with simplex wich is ok by me.
Used, abused and bruised is what i call these kinda bike with loads of rusty spots
I'm still puzzled though what kind of hubs i should use.
I really like the big normandy hubs but i don't know if these could be used for the build year of the bike as i thought these hubs where from the 70's and this bike is a 60's model
