As usual, the three measurements the OP is demanding are proxies for what's really being compared:
1. Length
2. Girth

. How it was back then.Watts/kg is a pretty good measure of cycling fitness. Another good one is ET for a hilly 400k. My wife and I just got back from a 10-day unsupported backpack in the Cascades. We've been doing those once/year for 48 years. I'm tired, so it'll be daily 30' recovery spins on the rollers for a week. Just baseline fitness . . .
