Does it have an indent on the seat tube where the front mech goes?

On the one I have, it has a standard round seat tube except at the point where you would fit the front mech it has a small flattened section on the driveside approx. 10mm x 20mm. I have been told by the seller that this is for the front deraileur 'sit -in'.

Pic doesn't show it too well but it is a uniform shape as if it was intended rather than damaged. I haven't come across this before and wanted to double check if this is true. There is no paint damage it is just reflection.

Thanks Stu, much appreciated.

It's going to be an s/s build initially and probably 9 speed after that, so not really too fussed, just curious. I can't believe how light it is. You happy with yours?

I was when it was new and I rode it a lot.
After doing the three peaks on it it's kind of just sat there looking at me every time i take another bike out instead. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Cheers Hedgehopper - looks like I'm not the only one who thought it was odd ๐Ÿ˜ณ

SSS - I'm going to keep it as a road build until winter so it stays looking pretty for a few months at least!
