Looking for number

Paint/decals look like a 2008 Taurine Team, but that was a BB30 frame. Guessing yours is not as it has an XT crank.
Looks like your bar code sticker is missing. It would have had the year code.
Can you see if there is a sleeve in the BB shell, separate from the shell itself? I had a CAAD9 road frame that was sleeved for threaded cups. Dealers installed them when they wanted to use cranks other than BB30. I am thinking you have a 2008 Team frame that was built up to a dealer's or owner's spec.

Looked the 2008 and 2009 catalogues. Frame is indeed 2008 taurine team or 1 and the rest is from 2009 taurine 1, except the crank, which could be from taurine 3 and fork that has been changed from headshock to lefty.
But anyway, bike needs maintenance, mainly gears, and wondering should I change it to fashionable 1x11 or keep it original as possible?

For me it would depend on how much of the current build would need to be replaced, and the cost of going 1 x 11. I know people like their 11 speed setups, but I doubt that there's enough performance advantage that would justify spending a lot extra to make the change.
