The Pinnacle has one or two better quality components, deore shifters/rear mech, plus 9 speed as opposed to the others which are 8, although the GT has disc brakes,
and apparently body geom handlebar grips which will make a big difference on a long ride. But the spesh's look the best. But not a great deal between them all, probably a notch or two above entry level.. try them all get the one that feels/looks the best.
