How do you store framesets?
I'm accumulating framesets (mostly vintage road framesets). Have 10-ish. Any tricks/tips on how to store them efficiently? I have hooks for my complete bikes, but that doesn't work for framesets.

I store mine on hooks, but I only have two frames currently.

I try to keep them out of sight from my wife
She seems to think they count toward N-1.

Pre existing kids school-type coat hooks, made great drying rack. Relative humidity crazy low in here, could feel skin on hands becoming paper- like. There's another layer of 4 or 5 frames set lengthwise back to front, raised off the floor on a wood table top. (You can just see a stteering tube and top of a frame- bottom left of photo.) Next frame rear triangle at that end, alternating, to minimize volume.

I'm currently storing my spare frames with other people. AKA selling them off.

Some good ideas on here. I like the pipe with foam insulation. Thanks, everyone.

I have a Harbor Freight bicycle tree:
Cheap Wall Bike Rack: Harbor Freight Tools Cycle Tree Compact Bike Storage
I can hang six frames on the arms. Not sure they make it any longer, but you can likely find one used or duplicate.
