Very new to road bikes, current drops feel narrow and are uncomfortable to ride on the drops if set comfortable on the hoods, have tried repositioning the levers which made minor improvements.

I'm very broad across the shoulder (6'5" tall) so is a wider bar the way forward? Is there a good 'basic' bar? The current shape is a 'C' where I see some have a crimp in them - does that offer improved hand position?

Might have MTFU if you're very new, just get used to it. Measure what you have now, if its 44cm-46cm wide don't worry, if narrower you might want to buy new ones.
