Went looking for a new bike

If you're 5'6 with a 29" inseam, then you have a very long torso and really short legs. I'm 5'4 with the same inseam and my legs are relatively short even at my height. My guess is that your standover is going to limit you, but you will likely benefit from a bike with a long top tube. I would look at unisex bikes as a start.

I agree. I'm 5'2" with a 28.5" inseam, and WSD bikes are a MUST for me. I need a short top tube compared to the seat tube height. You are built the opposite so should not even begin to try WSD bikes. I'm sure some of the smart gals here can direct you to some brands with long top tubes for their size, but definitely men's/unisex is what you want. You also might want a sloping top tube to give you more standover.
