    What does this even mean?

    Yes you can put a Shimano crank/chain set on the allez

    Yes you can put a 105 chainset on an Allez Frame - you'll possibly have to change the bottom bracket as well - depends what's on there already.
    Mine came with Shimano 2300 - square taper - it's now got Shimano 105 Hollowtech - just by swapping the bottom bracket out and putting the new chainset on.
