Mark never built under his own name, except for some work for friends and such. So you're not going to see much of his work out there. As I remember it he worked at Santana first in the mid-70s. Then he was back in Seattle at R&E Cycles for a few years, then off to Davidson for many years. He ended his building career in '94(?) while working for Ti Cycles. I'm with Curt as far as Mark's skills as a builder and I've said it before, if I was to have anyone else build me a frame it would be him. Here's a few pics of his frames: http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/CoolBikes/Bulgier/ best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.

PS: Also Curt's ex-mentor Dan Winn should be on the short list too.
