I drink a lot, when I'm not smoking pot. It takes the edge off when I'm out of crack, but it makes my judgement a tad bit questionable.....
Seriously, take off all the little rusty bits and toss them in a pie plate or foil roasting pan filled with a hot water/Oxalic acid solution. Let soak overnight (or for a day or two, depending) and you'll be amazed at how shiny those little bits get without any effort on your part.
After you shine that bike up, you should be very pleased with the results of your $20 investment coupled with the sweat-equity!
