Potholes in the road of life...
A 56" frame as you indicated is really, really tall.
Do you mean a 56cm frame height?

No, I'm really tall. 
Okay, I'm lying. I'm 5'10" tall. I meant to say 56cm. I don't speak metric all that well.

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.
You're my size. Here's a bike I doubt I'll ever ride again but I can't bring myself to sell it to just anybody. PM me if you think you might be interested. The nifty handmade wood display stand doesn't come with it.

Well, just as I caught the new bike fever, I have run over a pothole in the road of life. My car, a 2000 Toyota Avalon, has suddenly developed an issue today which will require major engine repair, and the early estimate is about $2,000.
There goes (for now) the new bike. I don't put things on credit anymore - haven't for two or three years now, so if I don't have the cash on hand, I don't spend it. So as much as I want a new bike NOW, it's going to have to be set aside for a while unless I get an unexpected windfall soon.
I can't tell you (but you already know) how disappointing this is. I shall have to be patient, remembering that this, too, shall pass.
Major bummer!!!

But honestly, I'm just glad to see you back here.
