Yes it was. They creased all their tubes, Ti, steel, alum and even carbon. My C40 is creased. Im not sure if made any real difference but compared to my Look Kg171, the yellow Team Once Jalabert special, it is stiffer off the saddle. I have to say, my old Look lugged carbon frame was a tiny bit soft and flexy for the big sprinters (I was 150 lbs, so no big), but for those long drawn out all days training rides, it was my go to bike, very comfortable and quick.
