I started cleaning up my dad's old bike at the weekend and it's got a few more rust patches than I expected, which is annoying. my main concern is that the top tube and down tube seem to have a slight angle change just before the lug and a tiny bulge on the underside of the tubes again right by the lug. I've attached a few pics of this.
Is this something that needs some serious attention? If so can someone please recommend somewhere to take it.
I've cleaned up the front wheel relatively easily, the rear hub will need a bit more attention but will hopefully be alright. the spokes on both wheel are not the tightest, but I'll worry about that a bit later. the frame is my main concern.
