I'm retarded and don't know much beyond maintenance basics and a bit more.
I've been wanting to get a new bicycle, but ive been wondering first if its possible to upgrade my current one instead of buying a brand new bike.
I currently have a Norco FBR3 (ill post link below) its an aluminium flat bar road bike with a Claris Groupset-ish. I was thinking of upgrading to drop bars with some Shimano 105 bits mainly the drive train.
So my question is when I come to upgrading my bike, can I treat it a bit like a PC, where you can just easily upgrade whatever you want in it, or will I be memed by some bracket or some such, where I dont know enough to tell you what could stop me from doing this.
Heres my bike If that can give you some insights to my question.

My current aluminium one rattles my bones a good bit depending on terrain, cloud be something to get if the price is not too steep after the first two.
P.S - I mostly use my bike for sports/fitness and just enjoying the countryside if that matters.
