Cinorider seems to be different than Eroica. There aren't requirements, but a point system.

From the cinorider website:

"What is a Heroic bike? Your bike must have at least three of the following characteristics to be considered Heroic:
  • Steel frame
  • A frame made in 1987 or earlier
  • Non-indexed shifting
  • Old style clip pedals and straps
  • Single speed
  • Downtube shift levers
  • Tubular tires
  • Fixed gear
  • No braze-ons for cables, etc. All clamps

Things that could disqualify you from being heroic, even if you have three of the above
  • suspension forks
  • carbon frame
  • clipless pedals (maybe)
  • mountain bikeā€¦
"

So to be heroic, I have to get one more point for the MAP. I'll just revert to my old toe clips and straps! I can't go strapless. Maybe I'll sneak in a CFRP water bottle cage just to feel naughty.
