Like most of us, I have a good bit of rust on parts of my frame. While I would love to find a way to do an off frame restoration and completely blast, prime, and seal my frame, it is not in the financial cards. I know that there are paints/chemicals that claim to combine with the rust leaving a finish ready for paint. I believe one of them is called Marhyde One Step or something like that.
What do folks consider the best way to treat the rusty frame?

I've used POR-15 and had good results on my classic cars.

If your frame has rust that has eaten through the frame,you'll need to
repiair it.
Should you have a ruty frame, take transmission fluid and spray it on
I know it willl stop it and easy to do
Dan Stucky recommends us to do it.
He is our guy when it comes to replacing frame and sections;
Transmission fluid does not gather dirt/dust like petroleum oil or grease.

As long as it is surface rust, I will second POR15. It is moisture curing urethane, and gets pretty darn hard. Can be used for all sorts of repairs when combined with cloth. They make a chassis coat product that is made for frames. Hit the surface with ospho or some such treatment and then the POR15 and the rust stops.
There is another product called Rust bullet - pretty much the same thing, only UV stable and silver in color.
On the unproven front, I used some of Rustoleums new spray on rust converter/topcoat on a few non-structural bits to see how well it contains. So far seems to hold up well. I used it on the outside of the brake master:

Which will be interesting to see how it holds up to brake fluid as well. This Picture was taken after 3 months. Infamous PO wire nut seen in background - I think this would be from the "how do I turn off the dash fan" hack.
