Best Way to Store you Bike

This is what we use at our home, works great, helmets are hung up behind the bike by the chin strap.

My Felt B12 is right next to my bed. 

Garage? Why'd you buy the bike if you hate it already?

We now have eight bikes stored inside. No dining room. but lots of bikes.

this is what I have set up in my office (these are not mybikes It is freestanding and sturdy. Got mine at Performance bike for under $100. XPORT Bikes Aloft 2 Storage Rack ...They have a special online for 69.99 right now.

see that's what I told my wife I would do, but then she told be we would both (bike and I) be homeless....

I use one of these (doule vertical Racor bike rack):

It's in the garage/gearzone (along with all my other toys).  They also make a version with 3 shelves and a lower bar to keep the bike tires from touching the wall.  I haven't had any problems with wheels going out of tru as a result of being stored this way.

There are pros and cons with all the storage systems. In theory, leaving the bike standing on the ground can accelerate tire deterioration because as the air leaks out and the tire flattens, you end up with a greater surface area on the ground. Plus greater chance of exposure to moisture if the garage floor is damp.

Storing by the wheel is thought by some to cause the wheel to go out of true since there is a constant pressure on the rim at the hook. Hanging by the frame has fewest risks to wheel/tire, but takes up more wall space, which can be a problem in small or overstuffed garages (like mine), especially when you have a lot of bikes.

How would I know if I had horizontal versus vertical drop outs??

Here's a link with pictures.  Although I think audiojan means you shouldn't hang from track drops, since the direction of gravitational force could allow the wheel to slip off the bike (it's obvious when you see the pictures what I am trying to say)

Howdy, I have a Seduza too.  If you store it on one of the racks where it sits on the top tube, invest in soem pipe insulation - a tube of foam that you can buy cheap at any hardware store.  Cut a piece the length of the top tube and slide it on before you hang it up - keeps the rack from rubbing the tube.  Also, depending on the set up, make sure that the handlebars don't contact the top tube when the wheel turns.  Mine hangs on a rack like this, but the wheel turns when it hangs and because of my setup the underside of the bullhorn bar scratches against the top of the top tube.  I hang a hand towel over the contact point to avoid marring the finish.

I hope you love your Seduza - it's a great bike!

Similar here: bought two closet rod support brackets and hung up the bike by the top tube. I wrapped some duct tape around the hangers so they wouldn't scratch the frame. I think I paid $8 total and it took me about 10 minutes to install. Make sure you drill into the studs, not the drywall.

The brackets look similar to this one (just got this pic off some website):
