hi... can anyone tell me what the make is of the emblem in my profile picture?

The crank may be the solution, here, I have seen a skip-tooth version associated with the Williams Company. This is a cottered crank when most bicycles would have had Armstrong types.

this is from an eBay auction.

While not an exact match, 2nd from left top looks like a precursor to this design. The eBay auction identified the crank as a Williams. Beyond that, I have no idea, but I'm thinking it may be from the interwar period, maybe early.

Hi. This appears to be an early "X" design BSA detachable chain-set (five pin fixing). I think it was introduced in 1901. However, as it is 'inch-pitch', it's possibly for a pacing machine.

Also here are some photos of the bicycle... This may help identify it? does anyone have any ideas how i should do it up?(eg colours, fixie or gears etc) any help would be much appreciated.

Although I can't be certain, I would guess at French origin. I think both the racks are original (newspaper delivery bike). The only cycle company I can think of is F.N (Fabrique Nationale). Sadly, your forks have been damaged (will pull out with gently persuasion).

There are thousands of headbadges for sale on eBay. It would probably be worth trawling through to see if you can find a match.
