After looking up rust killers, apparently oxalic acid isn't very effective, but I did find this. It's supposed to work decently well, but it's also 23 dollars a gallon. I suppose I could funnel it through the bottom bracket and seal off the vent holes.
Wrong.

I have treated about 20 bikes in the last year.

Do a search on oxalic, lots of threads out there, be sure to sort by relevance.
