I'm thinking about adding a small front rack to my Bianchi Volpe so that I can carry a few things up front. I have a Racktime Topit, which I like, but it won't work because the Volpe has canti brakes that interfere with the way it mounts to the fork crown. I don't want to have to bend the mounting hardware or fiddle with the brakes to get a fit. I'm planning to put that rack on a different bike anyway. What I'd like to find is a small rack to support a light weight basket or bag.

I've looked at the Velo Orange Pass Hunter (VO Pass Hunter Front Rack - Racks, Decaleurs, Accessories - Accessories)
and the Nitto M-12 (https://www.benscycle.com/p-2104-nit...A5EaApF48P8HAQ). Does anyone have experience with either of these racks? Any reason to prefer one over the other? Any other good options I should look at?

Both of the VO and the Nitto mount to the brake bosses. My bike does have mid-fork eyelets. I think they are in the position for a low-rider rack, which is not what I need since I'd like something with a platform. But if anyone knows of a platform front rack that works with canti brakes and mounts on the mid-fork eyelets, I would also love to hear about that.

Edit to add one more question: Does anyone know if the M-18 will accommodate canti brakes? I've looked and looked and can't seem to confirm this.

What about Mark's Rack made by Nitto for Rivendell? It is pricey but it works well. I have this rack holding a Wald medium basket on my Sam Hillborne.

That looks a lot like the M 12, which is also made by Nitto. I think the Mark's Rack is made for side-pull calipers though. I can't tell if it would work with cantilever brakes.
