I know you can mate I used to have some Shimano STX-RC jobbies years ago that had them? Don't know if they still do those ones?

My last bike had the Shimano XTR groupset and those shifters had the display too

Nah ditch the gripshifts dude, they'll be the thumb and forefinger type shifer, lines up next to your brake levers. Much better IMO

Ah coolio

If you're really going for it, I'd recommend the XTR stuff. Tis pricey as it's the top end Shimano kit, but superb quality. When I bought mine the shifters were £90
