Looking at some old TdF from the 50's and 60's, the bikes they rode had very limited gearing and was just wondering if riders then we're physically stronger than today's riders as climbing mountains must have been much harder than today. Not only the bikes were heavier and more basic but the state of the roads was also nowhere near as smooth as they are today on mountain stages.
