Is your wall space too narrow to hang the bike along the wall?

That's a lot easier than trying to clamp both dropouts. The downside is the the oily chainring is facing out.
With dropout clamps, the rear dropout would have to be extended from the wall so that the chainring doesn't touch the wall. It would be a little difficult to hold the frame up and tighten one of the clamps at the same time.
THIS: Perhaps each clamp could be mounted to a piece of wood, then the top clamp's wood base would be set on wall hooks, like those available for garden tools. That sounds easier!
To hang by handlebars & saddle:
A pair of these hardware store hooks mounted on a board. Hang by the bars, with the saddle against the wall. (Bike specific wall hangers are for top tubes, extending out from the wall. That wouldn't work as well.)
