Frame- dent or natural shape
It's hard to capture but, does this look like a dent or a natural shape to accommodate the chain ring? I would think if something whacked it the paint would crack. It's a carbon frame. Bought it on the auction site.

CF isn't like thin wall metal. You generally cannot dent it. A high impact that would dent metal would either crack or bruise it visibly. It's possible to damage CF without visible damage, but that wouldn't be a dent either
