If you live in a area where it can be quite humid, I recommend you covering it with a tarp or a decent size plastic garbage bag or it will rust over time. I also have classic Miyata road bike, which I do also hang from the rims. (upside down) No problems, works fine. I also have a Trek 1200 (Yr. 2005).

You might want to lube the chain and cables before you store it. It won't hurt the bike to be hung up.. its how they are stored at bike shops. In fact is actually the preferred method because as your tire looses air (and it will) the rim won't be sitting on the tire. As long as you keep the bike dry it will be fine.

No ill affects at all. Also store two very old 10 speeds same way for the last 20 years with no apparent problems..
