Nothing that difficult...
In this case they are using a small diameter seat stay (1/2" or 12 mm?) so there is room to miter the seat stay tops to the underside of the seat post binder.
You see other builders (Cinelli, etc.) accomplish this approximate look with a plug in cap, that is made/formed cast, to allow everything to squeeze in the space available. There are many nuanced variations on this theme....

Coolio's,? ?
I was wondering about the fastback stays (is that what they're called?) on this raleigh pro being sold downunder. More specifically ... wondering how they're made assembled? And if there is plus or minus to doing such an arrangement other than aesthetics? Any special lugs needed or can such be fashioned to any seat lug with an adiitional sleeve or widget?? ?
you'll see what i' asking for in the last pic of the below ebay auction >>? ?
or item # 220238599516 ?
Something about the way the seat stays join really appeals to my eye's ... I know cinelli's had a similar fitting but with a wider bolt?? ?
thanks, ciao? ?
