preferred method of rust removal?

Hello all. A friend of mine just gave me a 72 Schwinn Suburban - and mechanically it is perfect (minus needing new brake pads) and has a great feeling, smooth ride. The only problem with it is I need a tetanus booster just looking at it. The frame is fine, but the components are brown and gnarly.
The upside is I could ride this around and probably never have to lock it up with how it looks. But I want to take a stab at making it look nice again. What is your preferred method of removing rust?
