Besides new tires, lever hoods and possibly a new seat there is nothing that can go wrong at those 120+/- temps. the damage to the referenced items would depend on the duration of the exposure. If not a problem I would remove seat and tires

I am leaving an old Serrota at my parents' house in Texas so I don't have to haul a bike when I visit.  My father suggested storing it in an attic above the garage.  Outside temps in the summer would average mid-90s, so I'd assume an un-air conditioned attic would be significantly more than that for probably 3+ months of the year.  I can't come up with a particular reason to give not to leave the bike there, but just have a vague sense of unease about it.

Anybody have trouble from such a thing it the past, or am I just being paranoid?

thanks,

Baird
