The super cool bikes hanging up either belong to one of the owners (not Bill Davidson--last I knew he had only one bike!) or are on consignment.
The cool old parts thing is slim pickings because the shop only opened in 1983 (Davidson had been building for 10 years before that) and unlike other 'pro' shops, they actually sold the stuff and moved the inventory. I worked there in the early 90s, about when the OP's frame was made (1 1/8 top tube, pattern of decals) and at that point, because even Campy was starting to change stuff every year, most high end stuff was ordered per build. The suppliers usually beat the frame shop in getting stuff to us.
I'm guessing the OP's 65cm is center to center. Looks like what we sold as a 66cm (only even sizes over 60cm). Nice score! My Stiletto (crit model) and custom track frame are the best bikes I will ever own.
