damian, the thing with brakes is they are such a pain. Sometimes if go around the car again bleeding in sequence you will find the problem (air). The other possibility is that you have only half the MC working (improper assembly) or blocked orrifice. And finally if your rear brakes are not properly adjusted they will cause this symptom. This is the easiest to check, apply the hand brake, now try the foot brake, if the slack goes out of the pedal, it is excessive brake shoe travel that is causing the problem.
