Would /n/ consider this a good starting bike?
it's on 'sale' and you can change some of the stock components

I've been looking at the Canyon Endurance AL 5.0 with Tiagra Groupset which is £700+50 shipping and waiting list https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/road/endurace/endurace-al-5-0.html

SRAM Rival 11 Groupset
Vision Team 35 Wheelset
San Marco Saddle
FSA Omega Handlebar (optional) because it's 38cm

All For £650, So whats the better bike? http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXRT58ALRIV22/planet-x-rt-58-alloy-sram-rival-11-road-bike

pic shown has stock parts, Seatpost etc.

It's more than a good bike. It's an excellent bike with a component level that even picky and experienced riders would do very well with.
The Canyon is better looking and a pro brand, the PX is much better speced and cheaper. Pick your poison.

i do like the look of the canyon but for my budget the px sounds too good to be true.

the canyon has a 2 month waiting list too. the 6.0 which i wanted for the 105 Groupset is 800+shipping so i might just go for the px

Another option. I'd go with the Planet X though. That's a great price for the spec, especially with the included half decent wheelset & almost complete group. That FSA chain will last 1/4 of a KMCs life and the tires are trash, but that's basically it for compromises. Definitely get the blue one. It looks better and it is a LOT safer. Riding a monochrome road bike is very foolish. Why 38cm bars? LONDON? Measure your shoulder width, it's probably not <38cm.

I'll be getting the 42 or 44 cm handlebars
you can change the tires and chain in the custom area but extra money obviously. I'll be using them for a couple of months then when I'm fully adjusted I'll upgrade the little things

I'd go for GP4k2 tyres from the start. And latex tubes if that's an option and you have a good track pump. But not upgrading the tyres is silly. Why spend money and ride time with shit tyres?

This. Although 'upgrading' the tires is a few dollars more expensive than buying those upgraded tires as well off wiggle and having a spare set, so meh. But tires easily> all other components.
