Do I need to (lightly) sand down rusty spots before adding rust convertor?
Any tips or ideas about the damaged logo on the head tube? Leave as is? Add sticker? Draw swim trunks where the legs were? Not sure what happened there. Maybe a clamp for a kids seat or something rubbing.

I mean if you want to eliminate all rust the only answer is to strip the frame of paint (sandblast or similar) and re-finish. In your case I would just apply converter locally and embrace the patina. Sanding won’t achieve much other than taking paint off around your ‘spots’ and will make it look worse
sand lightly to get rid of the thick layer, I mean the top brown marks of rust. Then, use the converter.
just knock the loose/flaky rust off and then apply convertor, don’t make the common mistake of sanding too much rust off leaving nothing for the convertor to ‘convert’. if you go that far just apply direct to metal/rust paint.
embrace the patina
and yes swim trunks on the lion lmao
Isn’t that brake bridge broken?
