Some of that may be Schwinn's red oxide primer showing through as well, nothing life threatening here. Whatever little is actual rust can probably be rubbed out. Any solvent will get the paint off the chrome, elbow grease and Meguiars should get it off the paint as Kurt said.
Yours looks almost identical to one of mine that will also be built up as an upright for a very good friend.
