storing bikes in the loft

As the title I keep my bikes in the loft
But since having full insulation fitted to keep the heat in the house I have started to notice the chrome frames and forks are starting to suffer and are getting blooms of rust  :'(

Was thinking of sealing them in a canvas or plastic bike cover and some silca gel to keep moisture away ?

Any top tips for storing them all nice and safe up there ?

laidback:
You could wipe an oily/WD40/Acf 50 covered rag over the frames and parts. that should protect them. Do this every once in a while to keep the moisture out. I'd be reluctant to seal them inside a bag. If moisture gets in, it won't get out.  I'd let them breathe!
