Alan, please forgive if you are ahead of this, but we don't know unless we 
ask.

Does the pedal "pump up" if you pump it a few times, if so the brakes are 
not fully bled

Does it feel spongy down to the extended travel level or is it firm, if 
spongy may be air in system, or old hoses(?) that have some give in them.

Check the mechanical linkage and pivots on the pedal etc.  Excess wear 
multiplies to excess travel.
