Is the 09 SCHWINN 26" Men's Protocol 1.0 Mountain Bike a good MTB? What are its drawbacks?


I am new to the scene of MTB’ing and I would like to know if this bike is a quality bike for about 0. I have a price range of about 0-1000 (maybe) and I am interested in a hard-tail, but I found this full suspension for 0 so I said why not. I am looking to do a little bit of everything. I would like to have a MTB to do everything such as commute on city streets, downhill, jumping and uphill. None of those to an extreme, but I would say for moderate difficulty and abuse. If this isn’t a good bike where can I get a decent hard-tail (Full Suspension would be nice if it is a quality bike) that will perform all of these tasks with ease and be big enough for a 6’7" guy like me to ride? I also saw videos on snapping forks. What are some brands that are durable because I don’t want my forks to break. A list of brands that are quality producers (not too expensive) of MTB’s would be appreciated. Thanks!

**Here is a link with a picture of the bike with some specs

I don’t want to do any major jumping just a few medium sized jumps and getting decent air. Also what is the main reason a hard-tail can’t be used for downhill?

the bike is a 2006 trek 6000 hardtail (used) it is an aluminum frame with front suspension 19.5 inch frame. the owner said the bike has not been used in 7 months and has NEVER seen a trail. it was used only for travel to the gym and back. "fantastic" condition are words from his mouth. so is this a good buy, average buy, great buy, STEAL???? Thank you for your help.

I have less than a 1000 and what to add a little more accessory on my 2004 Honda CRV. so I got an cold air intake so I was thinking of getting a full catback exhaust from ebay that cost a total prices of 483 plus installation. Second that I have a 19" rims and low profile tires on my CRV so I was thinking of getting a Blistein HD suspension to lower it down and make it handle better and less road bumps and that cost 0 plus installation my Third choices which is not that much I require but I want to get a drill slot rotor and brakes so I can have a performance breaks and not get in accident that will cost me 5 plus installation. so please help me choice which one will you go with first to last.
