if you are sure you have all of the air out of the lines and no brake fluid leaks, you may have oil, grease or brake fluid on the brake pads and /or rotors, when mine did that i got a spray can of brake cleaner and it took the oil off my pads and rotors. problem solved. i hope yours is that simple good luck

I agree, if all the parts are relatively new, then the pads are contaminated. If they are not, then check to see if you get good fluid pressure out of the bleeders. Open the bleeder and have someone apply pressure to the brake pedal. Could have a defective proportioning valve or a kink in the hose. Dont use a cheap set of pads either. Always use a good brand name, the cheapies are get what you pay for all the time.
good luck.........

I wouldn't rule out one of your new brake hoses is collapsing or somehow obstructed. That pulling is a classic brake hose problem.
