Anyone know how I can get a bottle cage mount for my crosslight (that doesb't have bottle mounts)

I've been looking at the zefal gizmo but it says it only goes up to 60mm and my Kinesis crosslight has a massive downtube that's around 75mm

use it on the seatube?

I use a 'side loading' bottle cage on the seat tube of my cross bike and it's been fine.

as long as it clears the front mech you should be fine - side loading cage means you don't have to be able to lift the bottle so 'headroom' isn't an issue.

Decathlon have one that should work well.

I have one fitted to a set of rigid carbon forks and it has stayed put.

I just used some zip ties to attach a plastic bottle cage.
