From what I recall they're over the clearcoat, so you can just peel them off by either:
[ulist]
[li]scraping them off with a plastic tyre lever[/li]
[li]or heating them up a little with a hair dryer and just peeling them off[/li]
[/ulist]Both will leave sticky goo but you can clean that off with lighter fluid.

All the above.
heat them up with a hair dryer - scratch the edges a little with your nails only - then soak in lighter fluid for a few moments and they should come off with a little picking.

I rubbed mine off with the edge of an old credit card. I suppose heating them up with a hairdryer might have helped. It was easy enough anyway. Lighter fluid will get rid of any remaining gunk

Thumbnail works really well but you'll need some time for them to grow back in order to finish the job... took me a few weeks. Then finish up with WD40 to mop up any glue and dirt stuck to that glue. If the decals are aged that you may not have any of that sappy glue to deal with.
Overall the decals are pretty good, not impossible to get off but still strong for those who like the branding. I'm not fond of the www.com stuff or the fff .tm bloat, otherwise the steamroller name on top tube can stay, and I like the leaded surly type on the forks.
I delaminated my credit card using my credit as a scraper. It still worked, but the lady at the bank was a little confused when I showed her the blank card.
