Decal Removal; How to De-Pimp a Cannondale?

[IMHooker]

I am about to buy a new Cannondale and I will want to remove all the Godforsaken decals. How can I do this without causing any dammage whatsoever to the frame?

Ummmm....why? Cannondales look awesome.

decals are under a clear coat. Short of stripping that back, you're not getting them off.

As much as I dislike C-dales, they aren't exactly prime offenders when it comes to decals. My Colnago C40, now THERE'S a bike with too many logos on it!

I don't like all the decals either, but it doesn't make sense to me to repaint a new off-the-shelf bike. Was close to buying a Trek 2300 last fall, but just couldn't get excited about the appearance with all the decal graphics. Decided to go to a semi-custom frame mainly so I could get a decal-free paint job in my choice of color.
