Generally when using classic drops, rather than having a flat transition between level and bar, you have a slight drop before the lever - this post just above yours provides a good example of how they're usually set up:

As @Tijs was saying, you're probably better off with a compact bar, where the transition is flat, but the drops will come around normally rather than being at the funny angles yours are, not to mention they'll be a bit closer on. Best option for a 26mm compact bar is a Deda Piega, modern shape, works great with Campy levers and only costs about £20.

They are Nitto Noodles; is there another way to angle them? They were literally the only road drops I was familiar with having had them on my Geurciotti, the only other road bike I have owned. I would have considered other bars if I had a scoobies of what would have been good options. Initially I felt the whole set up was a bit reachy but it feels perfect now.
