Most new bikes from big box store and up have front and rear indexed shifting as standard.now.
You can convert the front to indexed by upgrading the shifter. My 1989 KHS had a non-indexed thumb shifter in the front (originally had a full Shimano "Mountain" Exage group) I upgraded to 3x7 SRAM 3 trigger shifters (also upgraded to a SRAM X-9 rear derailleur. I detest Shimano.) With the stock Exage front derailleur I have indexed shifting in the front now.
