I used to have a platform front rack. Kept light, bulky stuff there, such as sleeping bag & pad. It worked well apart from one incident where my handlebar bag fell under the front wheel in the middle of ride, causing me to crash. That was because of the stuff I had on platform prevented the handlebar bag from locking properly into its mounts.
From that experience, if I had a platform front rack now, I'd set it up the way VeloVeg has. Sweeeet ride
. Does that front trunk bag come off easily? I like to keep all the valuable stuff in my handlebar bag and just take it with me during breaks.
