Easy!
Go for the Charge Plug Racer (for the frame if anything else), then change the tyres (dia or vittoria 23c) , handlebars (nitto drops for me) and pedals. And the chain if you are feeling a cheeky color scheme coming on. It's a hugely versatile bike and perfect for completely changing.
Great bike to start off with for sure, ignore any haters on this site though. Have also bought a set of Ice Toolz which certainly didn't do any harm. The more you tinker (and potentially make mistakes) the more you will learn.
Velosolo is my choice site to buy from, super friendly and informative in a world where people think they can be a dick to you because a month ago they could finally afford a Bob Jackson (can't wait to get mine though!)
Anyway, not matter what bike you get am sure it will be a great starting block.
Enjoy your rides.
