if the pedal goes all the way to the floor i'd say you need to bleed them or someone hasnt put back the copper washers on the front calipers

eah, as phil said. check that the copper have been put back on, or better yet re-new them for piece of mind. i would bleed the whole system and whilst your at it, get a m8 to pump the brake pedal and check for any signs of leakage
