Fuitbat went on to form a band called 'Abdoujaparov' a sort of cycling link.
I remember the magazine thing because an old school associate from the south west (Cullen Ward) helped possibly on the same mag.
I remember seeing "Reef" in an MBUK years ago, IIRC the lead singer wearing a beenie hat and they were riding some decent kit, Turner DH etc ? Looked like they were well into the mtb scene, annoying band though IMO, always reminded me of that ginger tosser, Chris Evans on TFI (remember that) as they did " it's your letters"
