The Rohloff gear shifter only fits flats.
There's no really elegant solution to it. The Gilles Berthoud is the best out there: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gilles-berthoud-gilles-berthoud-twister-for-rohloff-hubs-silver-prod27131/ but the reviews on that page make it clear that it's only a "meh".
The Rohloff is wonderful, absolutely love it. Except for the fact that it's forced me to use flats.
I've comfortably done 140 miles in a day on the flats, but would've preferred the extra positions drops offered... but then, the extraordinary range of gears offered by the Rohloff got me up hills I might not have made. So overall that hub beats drops.

Hey Velocio, you've probably seen these shifters, but just incase you missed them. Not cheap though.

@Velocio so much porn.
why flat bars though? do they have any sweep?
