I have just bought a new bike (new to me, pictures to follow) and am in the process of transferring the setup geometry from my old bike to my new.
The new bike came with a very expensive Fizik Kurve Bull saddle which is suited to less flexible riders so should be perfect for me.

On a normal saddle I set it up level but am not quite sure what to do with this one.
With the nose and back of the saddle level it dose not look quite right, looks like I should point it forward a bit, so am now thinking the neutral position might be with the rails parallel.
I know it will be an individual thing and takes a bit of trial and error but just want to start from the neutral position and take it from there.

I believe that it should be levelled between nose and rear of the saddle, with a slight dip in the middle, even though you say it does not look quite right. You can fine tune from there.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Lay a large book flat on top of the saddle, supported by the highest points front and back, and use a spirit level on top. (NB before you start check the surface the bike is standing on is level).
