I don't think it requires special equipment tho.
I was going to use my Rigid tube bender and just do it to measurements from my cad drawing.
Even if done analogue with a 1:1 drawing you should be able to lay the tubes flat and check your bends.
I'll do it as a "dry run". Before welding the tube I'll put it all in the jig including internal tube. Then tack and weld the frame staying away from the entry and exit points of the stainless tube and then fix that with fillet pro once done with the TIG.

I was going to do this on the frame I’m building at the moment but with my limited equipment, I figured getting 3 bends in the stainless tube in the perfect place and at the perfect radius was going to be too much faff for me so I just put an exit a couple inches away from the BB for a tiny run of outer cable under the BB and then back in the chainstay
