A large waterbottle weighs 28oz and is supported by 2 bottle bosses. A single boss supporting 60oz is probably pushing it; the result, a ripped out rivnut, would undoubtedly include distortion and fatigue of a pretty thin tube.

Let me put it to you this way: I sure wouldn't ride it. A steel frame made from 9.6.9 tubing could probably handle it.
