Here are two sources of a product that has been used for many years by aircraft manufacturers and home builders of fuselages made of 4130 steel tubing. Might be a good treatment for older bike frames that weren't initially treated internally or need retreating. I don't know what current frame builders use, but I would guess this or similar products they have found to work well.

TUBE SEAL LINE OIL

Prevents rust and corrosion inside aircraft tubing structures. Tubeseal is a blend containing a very fine preservative oil (MIL-L-21260) which has a characteristic of climbing the tube wall and spreading over the entire surface to provide lasting protection. Penetrates and reveals very small pin holes in a weld and in time, due to exposure, congeal and seal the hole. 1 quart will treat 2 light aircraft fuselages. Complete instructions on label.
