Thanks. I am using a VO Randonneur Front Rack attached to my fork with P-Clamps to support a VO Campagne. Sturdy but a bit crude.
Santa may bring a slightly larger Berthoud Bag.
I will keep my eye out for brake mounted racks...I have tried the VO Gran-Compe ENE Mini-rack but that was
truly too small for the Campagne in my opinion.
