How unsafe is this frame?

Here are pics of My wife's early 70's Azuki. She really likes this bike but I don't feel like it is safe for her to ride. The frame material is just old gas pipe. Should I strip it down and pitch the frame, or let her keep it for short rides to the coffee shop?


Note: The frame does not appear to be bent from what I can tell by looking at it, but the paint obviously indicates a certain amount of flexing has likely been happening.
