I'm looking to mount the cage on the seat tube, just above the crank.

I tried my luck with some zip ties tonight. The ones I have are pretty good, and they hold the cage and a full bottle pretty well. I'll try this setup for a few short trips and see how it works out. I wrapped some electrical tape around the seat tube prior to mounting the cage to give the zip ties something to compress. I gave it some force and it doesn't budge, at least for now.
