Velo Orange has changed rack designs on a regular basis over the years. I bought my Pass Hunter bike frame (rim brake bike, not the rack) in Dec 2015, at that time they also sold a disc brake Pass Hunter frame. And they sold several racks, the Pass Hunter rack had the right shape to be a direct bolt on to the rim brake Pass Hunter fork. If my recollection is correct, in 2015 when I bought my frame they sold both the Pass Hunter rack and a Randonneur rack that was very similar but offered a bit more adjustability.

But they no longer make a rim brake Pass Hunter frame, so no longer make a canti brake post mount Pass Hunter rack. But their website indicates that they make a Randonneur rack in two versions, one is canti fork mount.

I think the company changed ownership in the last few years too.

I considered buying the Pass Hunter rack for my Pass Hunter bike when I bought the frame, but decided not to put a rack on the front of that bike.
