How tall would a rider be for a 56cm frame.... asking for a friend

Probably between about 5ft9 and 6 foot?

Depending on whether you’d ride it with less seatpost out like back in the day or a bit more.

I’m just under 5ft 9 with a 30 inch leg and it’s set up for me in the photos…

The friend can come and take it for a spin

Bugger, he's 5'11" but lives very far away.....

Always one to play the matchmaker, if said friend wants to send me the distance from saddle top to pedal that he usually rides I can set it up that way and send pics for review ;-)
