These 60s bikes always had the coolest road-racing styling, and then just the crappiest bars known. With no good mounting points for rear-sets, and no good mounts for clip-ons, you'll have a tough time being comfortable with clubmans!
Check these bars out:

I've started putting them on everything.
They correct the weird stance of the 60s bars, but keep you comfy while your feet are on the pegs.
Also, for these older small Italian bikes, moped sources are where it's at. If you're stateside, Treatland.tv has tires and tubes that will fit those small rims, electrical parts for days, cables, knarps, and all that jazz. And don't just search for "Cimatti" in your ebay parts search; I've found all the Italians shared parts: Moto Guzzi, Aermacchi, Cimatti, etc.
Your greatest challenge will be if the piston and/or cylinder are scored. If it spins free with good compression, and a good flashlight check, you could have this thing running in two weeks.
EDIT: I almost forgot! This old single-stage paint fucking ROCKS. Hit it with some buffing compound, and it comes alive. That black and silver Aermacchi in my pic used to look just like yours (note the hazy forks, not yet buffed). With some proper compound, pads, and wax, it looks so good. If you can buff that out without killing the pinstripes, it'll be the shit.
