Don't get me wrong, I love them.
But... numb hands on long rides. Need to mix it up a bit, have a few different positions.
I have thought about keeping flats, but just going for something that curves to help prevent the numb hands.
My only criticism of the bike is that the Rohloff shifter has made it hard to have that choice to use a drop bar when I know I'm doing a weekend camping and several days of long rides. It's possible, but it's fugly and messy to change back and forth.
My remit to Robin was "the bike should change from touring mode to city mode in 15 minutes"... most Rohloff shifter solutions take a lot more mucking around than that.

I have to say, I think the flats on your Mather are rather brilliant.
It's as if your bike is way ahead of its time, and we'll all be rocking flats soon.
