Front racks that I recommend.
Winter Bicycles makes custom bicycles and custom racks. I requested a 6x10 rack to support my randonneur bag.
My bags fit this rack perfectly. The backstop on this rack is full sized, by request, and gives a rock solid interface.
There is no bottom velcro, straps, or decaleur needed. If riding off road, of course stap that thing down just to be safe.
Also, it is amazingly lightweight.

Fitz Cyclez in Santa Rosa, CA offers custom complete bicycles, framesets, and racks. This 6 x 8 randonneur rack was built in stainless steel and fits my bags perfectly.
There is no velcro, straps, or decaleur needed to secure the bag to the rack.
If you are camping off road, of course strap that bag down so it doesn't bounce into oblivion.
I strongly recommend working with Fitz Cyclez.
Stainless Steel and powder coated tubular cro mo steel.

For off-the-shelf options, the Velo Orange Flat Pack Rack has a good shape and size to fully support a randonneur bag or porteur bag.
The rack is very adjustable and includes a decaleur and host of accoutrements to fine tune installation.
A little bit heavier than a custom rack and a little bit wiggly if you grab it with both hands and torque it sideways, but noone ever does that while riding.
So boom, ya done now.
