Do a google on "Oxalic acid bath Bike Forums" and you'll find many helpful threads on rust removal.

Some of your chrome looks like it's rusty enough to be pretty badly pitted, but you won't know until you've given it the acid bath. Start with that, because oxalic acid is cheap ("wood bleach" at your hardware store) and then decide what you're working with. If you have to replace/rechrome any significant pieces, I doubt the bike would net you anywhere worth your time an effort to really make a profit on it.
