Came across this on my state's facebook bikepacking page.
Made by Adventure Hydration, an Australian company, it's a molded, 4-liter plastic tank that fits in the "V" of the frame above the crank. The person using it said it took about a month to arrive from Oz.
He used it last week on a bike packing trip in Big Bend and found it worked well.
CrankTank4 $110 Australian = ~ $75 US

Didn't drill down into the website far enough to locate shipping price to US. They also sell nice neoprene covers for the tank and other accessories, like drinking tubes.
If you're wondering, and I know you are, four liters of water weighs almost 9 lbs.
The container weights 480 grams, or ~ 17 oz.
So -- total weight of filled container would be about 10 pounds.
